Changing The Group Membership - Intel SS4000-E - Entry Storage System NAS Server User Manual

Managing Your Storage System

Changing the Group Membership

In local authentication mode, you can change which users are members of each group at
any time. When you add a user to a group, that user has immediate access to all the shared
folders that the group is authorized to access. However, if you remove a user from a
group, the change does not take effect until that user disconnects from the shared folder or
shuts down the computer.
For example, the user Alice might be a member of both the Marketing and Executives
groups. The Marketing group might have read-only access to the Budget shared folder,
and the Executives group might have read/write access. As a member of the Executives
group, Alice would have read/write access to that shared folder. If Alice is currently
connected to that shared folder and you subsequently remove her from the Executives
group, she continues to have read/write access to that folder until she disconnects or shuts
down her computer. The next time she connects, she continues to have access to the
shared folder since she is still a member of the Marketing group, but she is able to only
view the files there; she cannot add, modify, or delete files.
To change the group membership:
1. In the navigation bar, click Users.
2. In the left pane, click Groups.
3. In the Groups list, select the group whose membership you want to change.
4. Click Edit.
Note: If the storage system uses Active Directory authentication mode, this button appears
dimmed.
