Advanced Settings
Besides editing the privilege for Everyone

account on a certain file or folder. This includes domain user accounts as well. Follow the steps below:
1 Follow steps 1~5 in To edit Windows ACL settings.
2 Click Add.
3 Click Advanced.
4 Click Search Now
. The search result will include all user and groups, including domain user accounts, in your
DiskStation.
5 Select the account you want to add, click OK.
6 Click OK.
7 In the Group or user name section, click on the account you just added.
8 Follow steps 7~9 in To edit Windows ACL settings to finish.
When there's a conflict between Windows ACL settings and the shared folder privileges, the system will
automatically adopt the settings the two may have in common. For example, if the shared folder privilege is
"Read/Write", but ACL privilege is "Read". Then final privilege will be only be "Read".
Note:
Windows ACL is only supported on EXT4 file system. For previous DSM 2.3 users, you need to create at least one
EXT4 volume to use ACL feature. This means, you have to format at least one hard disk and re-create a volume.
Formatting DiskStation will result in erasing all stored data and settings. Please make sure all your data is
backed up before processing.
To define new privileges for domain users, make sure DSM and Windows clients are in the same domain.
The ACL privileges of the following shared folders cannot be modified: photo, surveillance, web.
Index Shared Folder Contents
You can index the contents of a shared folder for rapid file search by File Browser.
