Managing users imported from an ac ve directory
The administrator of the original domain manages users imported from an active directory. For example,
passwords, email accounts, and groups are all determined within the original domain. See
instructions on synchronizing changes from an active directory to NAS OS.
The administrator of the NAS OS device can adjust the following settings for imported users:
Access rights to shares on the NAS OS device
Delete an imported user from the NAS OS device
Set quotas for storage capacity on NAS OS volumes

Groups

Administrators can use Groups to set access rights for many users at once rather than individually.

Shares, Users, and Groups

Allotting storage and network permissions for multiple departments and users in a branch office or corporate
network can be complicated. It takes forethought and planning to configure which user is part of what group
with access to how many shares. For this reason, the settings Shares, Users, and Groups are closely related in
NAS OS. The cross-functionality between these three settings allows the administrator to add users to
groups in the Users or Groups settings as well as shares to users and groups in the Users and Groups settings.
The wizard for each setting prompts the administrator to choose shares, users, and groups. Additionally,
users and groups can be added to a new share when following the Add share wizard.
However, creating a new share, user, or group requires that the administrator use its respective setting. For
example, the administrator must choose the Shares setting to add a new share and the Users setting to add a
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
