Share Access Rights
Access rights apply to individual shares. For each share, you control the file-sharing
protocols that can be used to access the share and the access rights granted to each
user, group, and host. For example, you might want to grant a user read/write permission
on one share, read-only permission on another share, and no access rights at all on a
third share. By default, all users and groups have read/write access.
The following table lists access right options.

User and Group Authentication
The way that users and groups are authenticated depends on the user and group
management mode that you selected (see User and Group Management Modes on
page 138):
•
Local user database. If you use the local database, create group and user accounts
before you set up share access rights. For more information about creating and
managing groups and user accounts, see Chapter 6, Users and Groups on page 136.
•
Active Directory. If you use an external Active Directory, the user and group
information is downloaded to the ReadyNAS. User and group access rights are listed
when you click the Access tab in the share settings window.
