Notes:
• The example above shows access restrictions by users. To restrict access by group, click the [Local Groups] tab and
select group permissions.
• The most restrictive access settings will always apply. For example, if both read-only and read and write
permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access.

Active Directory

If there is an Active Directory environment, the LinkStation will use account information from the Active Directory
domain controller to set access restrictions for LinkStation's shared folders. There is no need to perform individual
account management for the LinkStation. If multiple LinkStations are installed on the network, the account
information is centrally managed in Active Directory, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and
management.
Note: The LinkStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and groups.
