Chapter 3 File Sharing
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 using 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 a firmware version earlier than 3.00 and has since updated to
version 3.00 or later. 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 access permission settings of files
and folders in subfolders unchanged, make sure that the same workgroup name, user IDs, and group IDs are
configured between backup or replication sources and destinations.
• If you clear the "Read & execute" checkbox under "Allow" (as shown on the image above) and disable the
subfolders' access restrictions, these users and groups will have read and write permission.
• 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.
