Restrictions are available:

• Access Restrictions for Users and/or Groups on the TeraStation

Follow the procedure on page 50 to configure.

• Access Restrictions on NT Domain

Follow the procedure on page 52 to configure.

• Access Restrictions on Active Directory

Follow the procedure on page 54 to configure.

Notes:

• This chapter describes the procedure to use Active Directory with Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and Server

2008.

• Depending on the security settings, the TeraStation may not be able to join, or may be able to join but may not

be authenticated by a domain. In such a case, it is recommended to restrict access by delegating authority.

• Restrict access by delegating authority

Follow the procedure on page 47 to configure.

Notes:
• Access restrictions on the TeraStation are configured for shared folders in the root folder. Subfolders inherit their

permissions from their parent folder and may not be configured separately.

• Permissions on the TeraStation are configured from within the Web Admin interface. Changing TeraStation

permissions on the fly from within Windows or OS X is not supported.
