Groups are an easy way to manage users with the same storage needs and
privileges. A group consists of one or more users. You can add or remove users
from a group at any time. The user's primary group (the group to which quota
charges for storage usage are applied) is set up in the Primary Group field of the
user's profile.
A group called "nasusers" is automatically created when you first install the NSS.
This group is the default primary group when you create new users.
Groups let you specify the share access privileges for a set of users. After you
create a group, you can define the group's access privileges on a per-share basis.
You can add or remove users to and from the group at any time. Note that users are
assigned a primary group within their user profile. When users create a file, the
group ownership is automatically set to their primary group. The storage usage is
charged to their primary group for the purposes of volume quota accounting.
Group membership, other than the primary group, is defined in either the Add
Group or Edit Group page and is used only to control access to shares and files.
To create a group:
NOTE: You cannot grant security privileges to
a group for a CIFS share through ACL.
