.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
Existing groups
.Group data is organized in a table
.A blue icon on the far left indicates that the group has been created in NAS OS
