Understanding Disk Share Security Access

The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition allows you to limit user and group accounts share access.

Figure 3-1

Access to shares requires proper login authentication, and you can specify which users and/or groups you wish to offer access. For example, you might want to restrict company financial data to just users belonging to one particular group. The administrator needs to set up and maintain user and group accounts on the network storage device itself. In addition, each user account is automatically set up with a private home share on the network storage.
