Restoring Owner And Permission Settings - Buffalo TeraStation TS5210DN User Manual

You may also configure access permissions for domain users and groups. You should have the TeraStation join your
Active Directory domain before configuring access permissions from File Explorer.
Notes:
• If enabling subfolders' access restrictions for a USB drive, the drive should be formatted by XFS or ext3.
• The UID and GID of domain accounts should be updated before using the subfolders' access restrictions if the
TeraStation joined the AD network while running firmware version 3.00 or earlier and has since updated to
version 3.00. To update the UID and GID, navigate to "File Sharing" > "SMB" > "Edit" in Settings and click Update.
• To back up or replicate files to backup or replication destinations with remaining access permission settings to
files and folders in subfolders, make sure that the same workgroup name, user IDs, and group IDs are configured
between backup or replication sources and destinations.
• If you enable subfolders' access restrictions and then clear the "Read & execute" checkbox under "Allow" on File
Explorer for users or groups access permissions, these users or groups cannot be allowed to read and execute
even if subfolders' access restrictions are disabled in Settings. If you deny reading and executing on the same
window, this will remain after disabling subfolders' access restrictions.
• If the TeraStation's settings have been initialized but you configure the same UID and GID for new users and
groups, access permissions to files and folders in subfolders may be inherited.
