Administrator Guide

This administrative tool lets you control access to shares and also configure read-only or read-write access to user
groups or individual users within the Active Directory Service (ADS) when joined to an ADS domain.
To implement share-level security on a DR Series system that has been joined to an ADS domain, make sure that you
have mapped a drive on the DR Series system using an account with DOMAIN\Administrator credentials (or by using an
account that is equivalent to a domain administrator). For more information about joining to an ADS domain, see
Configuring Active Directory Settings.
NOTE
: If you do not use an account with sufficient privileges, you will not be able to see the shares or you may
experience other problems.
