ReadyNAS OS 6.0
Basic User and Group Concepts
Users are the people to whom you grant access to your storage system. If your company
uses Windows Active Directory, you can use that to manage ReadyNAS users. Otherwise,
when you want to allow someone to access your ReadyNAS system, you create a user
account for that person. The ReadyNAS storage system administrator sets up user accounts
and decides which folders and LUNs each user is permitted to access.
If your ReadyNAS storage system is used at home, you might create a user account for each
member of the family, but allow only the parents to access financial data stored on your
system. You might decide that all user accounts can access photos and music stored on the
system. You can set the appropriate permissions for each user.
The ReadyNAS system administrator can set up groups to make it easier to manage large
numbers of users. For example, if your ReadyNAS storage system is being used in a
business, you might decide that every employee should have a user account. However, you
might decide that only users in the accounting department can access information in the
accounting shared folder, but that all users can access data stored in the company benefits
shared folder. You can create a group for each department and place all users in the
appropriate group or groups.
User and Group Account Limitations
You can create up to 8,192 user accounts and up to 8,192 group accounts on your
ReadyNAS storage system. However, creating many accounts on your system can degrade
its performance, so NETGEAR recommends that you create and maintain only those
accounts you need, preferably fewer than 250.
When you add a user, a private home folder is created for that user. This private home folder
is visible only to the user and the system administrator.
User and Group Management Modes
You can choose between two modes to manage user and group accounts on your
ReadyNAS: Local Users mode and Active Directory mode. You configure either one or the
other. If you decide to use Local Users mode.
Local Users mode. This mode lets you manually manage user and group accounts on
your ReadyNAS storage system using its local database.
Active Directory mode. This mode requires an Active Directory database. If you use
Active Directory mode, you do not use your ReadyNAS system to manage your users
and groups. Instead, you manage them with your Active Directory database and the
changes are transferred to your ReadyNAS system every 12 hours.
