Setting Up User And Group Accounts; Managing Groups - NETGEAR RNDX400E - ReadyNAS NVX Pioneer Edition NAS Server User Manual

If you have a large number of users in your domain, you may want to clear the Display users from
trusted domains... check box. The FrontView management system might slow down to an
unusable state.
Note: NETGEAR does not recommend the use of the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition
in a domain environment with more than 10,000 users at this time.
Click Apply to join the domain. If Auto-detection is successful, users and groups from the domain
now have login access to the shares on this device.
Accounts are managed on the domain controller. The ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition simply
pulls the account information from the controller and displays it in the Accounts tab screen if you
have the Display users from trusted domains... option enabled. If you wish, you can assign a
disk quota to the domain users and groups. If e-mail addresses are specified, users are
automatically notified when approaching and reaching their quotas.

Setting Up User and Group Accounts

In the User & Group Accounts security mode, the Accounts tab screen allows you to manage
user and group accounts on the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition.

Managing Groups

To add a new group:
1. Select Manage Groups from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.
2. Select the Add Group tab if it is not already selected. You can add up to five groups at a time.
If you expect to have just one big set of users for one group, you can forego adding a new
group and accept the default users group.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
If you want, a user can belong to multiple groups. Once you have created user accounts, you can
specify secondary groups that the user can belong to. This allows for finer-grain settings for share
access. For instance, you can have user Joe in the Marketing group also belong to the Sales group
so Joe can access shares restricted to only the Marketing and Sales groups.
While adding a new group, you can specify the amount of disk space you wish to allocate that
group by setting a disk quota. A value of 0 denotes no limit. You can also set the Group ID, or
