ReadyNAS 3200 Software Manual
Share Access Restriction. If you wish to limit share access to particular users and/or groups,
you can enter their names in the Read-only users, Read-only groups, Write-enabled users, and
Write-enabled group fields. The names must be valid accounts, either on the network storage or
on the domain controller. Note that access control differs slightly from service to service.
For instance, if you wish to allow read-only access to all and read/write access only user fred and
group engr, you would set the following:
• Default: Read-only
• Write-enabled users: fred
• Write-enabled groups: engr
If you wish to limit this access only to hosts 192.168.2.101 and 192.168.2.102, set the following:
• Default: Read-only
• Hosts allowed access: 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102
• Write-enabled users: fred
• Write-enabled groups: engr
If you wish to specify some users and groups for read-only access and some for read/write access,
and disallow all other users and groups, enter the following:
• Default: Disabled
• Hosts allowed access: 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102
• Read-only users: mary, joe
• Read-only groups: marketing, finance
• Write-enabled users: fred
• Write-enabled groups: engr
If you wish to grant guests access to this share, check the Allow guest access checkbox.
Share Display Option. Restricting access to a share does not prevent users from seeing the
share in the browse list. In certain instances, you might not want this, such as for backup shares
that you might want to prevent users from seeing.
To hide a share, select the Hide this share... check box. Users who have access to this share must
specify the path explicitly. For example, to access a hidden share, enter \\host\share in the
Windows Explorer address bar.
