Access Control Access control is used for restricting access to the shared discs in StorPoint CD.
In the Windows (SMB) environment, you can select whether you want to use
user-level or share-level access control.
User-level
Access Control
User-level access control allows you to define rights for discs/volumes based on
as whom the user logged into the domain. StorPoint CD will act as a “member
server” in the NT-domain and verify the user’s identity and group memberships
against a domain controller on the network. This method has the following
advantages:
• Users are not required to answer to password prompts every time they need
to access a protected disc or a volume.
• The Network Administrator can manage the access rights for discs and
volumes using Windows NT’s standard administration tools.
• The Network Administrator can use the native user groups in the domain to
set basic security.
Share-level
Access Control
Share-level access control is based on different passwords for different shared
discs/folders. No verification with domain controllers will take place. This is a
good method to use in smaller “workgroup based” networks when there is no
domain controller.
Recommendation!
User-level access control is the preferred method to use in Windows NT server
based networks.

your Windows (SMB) environment and it will guide you through the following:
