ReadyNAS OS 6.1
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:
• 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.
To configure Local Users mode:
1. Select Accounts >
Authentication.
2. From the
Access Type drop-down list, select Local users.
Except for the Workgroup Name field, all fields are dimmed.
3. (Optional) Enter a name for the workgroup.
You can keep the default name of VOLUME.
4. Click the Apply button.
For more information about managing users and groups in Local Users mode, see User
Accounts on page 154 and Group Accounts on page 159.
To configure Active Directory mode:
1. Select Accounts >
Authentication.
2. From the
Access Type drop-down list, select Active Directory.
