Restrictions are available:
• Access Restrictions for Users and/or Groups on the TeraStation
Follow the procedure on page 23 to configure.
• Access Restrictions on NT Domain
Follow the procedure on page 25 to configure.
• Access Restrictions on Active Directory
Follow the procedure on page 27 to configure.
Notes:
• This chapter describes the procedure to use Active Directory with Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and Server
2008.
• Depending on the security settings, the TeraStation may not be able to join, or may be able to join but may not
be authenticated by a domain. In such a case, it is recommended to restrict access by delegating authority.
• Restrict access by delegating authority
Follow the procedure on page 29 to configure.
Notes:
• Access restrictions on the TeraStation are configured for shared folders in the root folder. Subfolders inherit their
permissions from their parent folder and may not be configured separately.
• Permissions on the TeraStation are configured from within the Web Admin interface. Changing TeraStation
permissions on the fly from within Windows or OS X is not supported.
