8.2.0.1  Conflict Users
A conflict user is a local user that has the same user name as that of a user on a domain 
controller
.
 For example, if you first create local users and groups on the NSA (in Workgroup 
mode) and later you change to domain mode where you create (or there are already) identical 
users and groups, then they appear as in conflict on the NSA.
"
You cannot set a disk quota for users that are in conflict.
If you started in Domain mode and later you switch to Workgroup mode, the NSA will allow 
you to create user names and group names that already exist on the domain controller.
If the conflicting domain user’s password and local user’s password are NOT the same, than 
the two users are treated as two distinct users. Therefore, each user can only access shares to 
which they have been given access rights.
However, if the domain user’s password and local user’s password are also the same, then 
only shares set to be accessible by the local user are actually accessible by both the domain 
user and local user. The NSA has no way to distinguish these two users as their passwords and 
user names are exactly the same.
"
During a conflict situation, the local user takes precedence ONLY if the domain 
user and local user’s passwords are the same.
