Securing Your px4-400r Network Storage and Contents
Creating Local Users and Groups in Active Directory Mode
After an AD or local administrator logs in to the px4-400r, that user can create additional local users and
groups on the px4-400r. The Users and Groups page lists all local and AD users and groups on the px4-
400r.
1. On the Users and Groups page, click
2. In the Import Users and Groups from Active Directory page, under Local, click Users to create a
local user or Groups to create a group. You can add AD members to any local groups you create.
3. Enter the necessary credentials for the user or the group name, and click Create.
Creating Share Permissions for AD Users and Local Users
You can create access permissions for both AD and local users on any new or existing Shares on your
px4-400r. For more information, see
Switching to Workgroup Mode from Active Directory
You can switch your px4-400r from AD mode to Workgroup.
1. On the Domain Management page, disable the button to join Workgroup mode.
2. Click Apply.
After changing to Workgroup mode, if there are any administrator users on your px4-400r, you are required
to log back in to the px4-400r. You must log in as a local user, and you do not have the choice to select an
AD domain. Also, the Users and Groups page no longer lists the AD users and groups.
If you had not enabled security on your px4-400r prior to changing from Workgroup to Active
Directory, your px4-400r did not have any local users. Security is automatically enabled when you
configure AD. When you switch back to Workgroup, the Switch to Workgroup Mode dialog box
displays. You must create an administrator user because security is not disabled by switching
back to Workgroup. After creating the admin user, you remain logged in to the px4-400r.
