8.1.2 What You Need to Know About The Sharing Screens

Local User/Group
A local user or group is one created on the NSA when the NSA is in workgroup mode. (A
workgroup is a collection of computers on a Windows network that can share files, printers,
Internet access, and so on.)
Domain User/Group
A domain user or group is created on a centralized Windows-based domain controller. This list
is used by the NSA when authenticating accounts and/or groups that seek access to a share.
If a user belongs to different groups with different access rights to the same share, then the
more restrictive access right applies. That is, deny access overrides read access and read-write
access. For example, let's say that user Joe belongs to the Sales group. He has read access to
the MIS share. The Sales group is denied access to the MIS share, however. Therefore, Joe is
also denied access to it due to the fact that he's in a more restrictive group.
More restrictive access rights override less restrictive ones.
In Conflict
A user account is "in conflict" when the account name that exists on a network-attached
storage device also exists on the domain controller. See
