Using Active Directory Domain to Manage Users and
Groups
Active Directory Users and Groups Overview
On the Users and Groups page, administrator users can import users and groups from an Active Directory
(AD) server and grant them access rights to Shares on the px6-300d Network Storage. In addition, you can
also have both local and AD users on your px6-300d. See Managing Your px6-300d Network Storage with
Local and Active Directory Users on page 81for more information. For more information on enabling AD on
the px6-300d, refer to Configuring Your px6-300d Network Storage to Use Active Directory on page 11. For
information on creating an administrator user, refer to Enabling Security and Creating an Administrator
User on page 72.
Managing Users and Groups with Active Directory
The page describes how to:
● Import Users and Groups from Active Directory
● Synchronize with the Active Directory Controller
● Change Access Permissions
● Set Quotas
Importing Users and Groups from Active Directory
1.
Click Import Users and Groups from Active Directory.
2. The pop-up window for Import Users and Groups from Active Directory is searchable, and you
can sort by name, descriptive name, or type. You can filter the list of users and groups by selecting
a specific user or group from the domain tree.
3. Select the checkbox next to a user or group to import that user or group to your px6-300d Network
Storage from your Active Directory domain. Select the checkbox in the title bar to select all the
users and groups in your Active Directory domain.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Synchronizing with the Active Directory Controller
You can poll the Active Directory controller at any time to check for new users and groups on the controller,
so you can add them to your px6-300d. This keeps your px6-300d up to date with any group changes on the
controller and indicates if any users on the controller were deleted or promoted.
● Click Synchronize with the Active Directory Controller.
Changing Access Permissions
Expand Access Permissions to change user or group permissions to a secured Share. When the px6-
300d is in AD mode, AD and local users can have access to a secured Share. See "Managing Your px6-
300d Network Storage with Local and Active Directory Users " on page 81.
