Using your LinkStation

Access Restrictions

There are several ways to restrict access to users of a LinkStation.

Access restrictions for Users and/or Groups on the LinkStation

The next page describes how to configure access restrictions for local users and/or groups.

Access Restrictions on NT Domain

Follow the procedure on page 29 to configure.

Access Restrictions on Active Directory

Follow the procedure on page 31 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 LinkStation 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.

Access restrictions by using the Delegate Authority server feature

Follow the procedure on page 33 to configure.

Notes:• Permissions are assigned to shared folders. Child folders in a shared folder inherit their permissions from the parent folder. If a file or folder is moved into a new shared folder with different permissions from the folder it was originally in, it will now have the access restrictions from the new shared folder.

When accessing the LinkStation from Windows via SMB, changing permissions from the folder’s security tab in the properties screen of a folder is not supported. Access restrictions for shared folders on the LinkStation can only be configured from within the Web Admin interface.
