Access Restrictions
There are several ways to restrict access to users of a LinkStation.
Access restrictions for Users and/or Groups on the LinkStation
The next page describes how to congure access restrictions for local users and/or groups.
Access Restrictions on NT Domain
Follow the procedure on page 29 to congure.
Access Restrictions on Active Directory
Follow the procedure on page 31 to congure.
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 LinkStation 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.
Access restrictions by using the Delegate Authority server feature
Follow the procedure on page 33 to congure.
Notes:• Permissions are assigned to shared folders. Child folders in a shared folder inherit their
permissions from the parent folder. If a le or folder is moved into a new shared folder
with dierent permissions from the folder it was originally in, it will now have the access
restrictions from the new shared folder.
• When accessing the LinkStation from Windows via SMB, changing permissions from the
folder’s security tab in the properties screen of a folder is not supported. Access restrictions
for shared folders on the LinkStation can only be congured from within the Web Admin
interface.
