location and use those definitions across your network.

following:
•Click

users that are part of the domain. Read the initial screen, then click
Next to
continue. You are guided step-by-step to add desired users.
•Click
Using Windows Active Directory security to add Microsoft Windows Active
Directory (ADS) domain users. Read the initial screen, then click
Next to continue.
You are guided step-by-step to add desired users.
Defining Local Users
Local Users are users you define on a specific Snap Server. All of their user
information is stored on the server.
To simplify user access for Windows Workgroup or Macintosh clients, create local
accounts on the Snap Server that match those used to log into client workstations.
This strategy allows users to bypass the login procedure when accessing the Snap
Server.
To define Local Users, click
Security > Local Users, then click New. You can use other
buttons on this page to manage Local Users.
Defining User Groups
You can define User Groups and you can also give or deny access to the entire group.
If you have defined network users, any groups defined in the Microsoft Windows
domain service are available for you to use on the server.
To define groups of Local Users, click
Security > Local Groups, then click New. You
can use the other buttons on the Security page to manage local user groups.
