new user. Though each setting can be revised at any time, it is highly recommended that the administrator
plan ahead when first adding shares, users, and groups to NAS OS. With a map of users, groups, and shares,
the administrator can simplify access rights. See the example below.
Sample setup: Shares, Users, and Groups
An administrator has mapped permissions for 40 shares, 20 users, and 10 groups.
To get started, the administrator adds the 20 shares using the Add share wizard on the Shares page. The
administrator ignores the prompts to add users and groups to each share since new users and groups have
yet to be created.
Next, the administrator adds the 20 users using the Add user wizard on the Users page. The administrator
ignores the prompts to add users to shares and groups since new groups have yet to be created.
Finally, the administrator adds the 10 groups using the Add group wizard on the Groups page. In this step, the
administrator will assign:
Each user to a specific group
Share permissions for each group
The Groups setting is the last step since it can cover more users at one time rather than assigning share
permissions for each new user.
The generic sample setup may not apply to all environments. However, NAS OS gives the administrator free
reign to configure permissions on the Shares, Users, and Groups pages.
