Defining Windows users and groups

This section describes how to set up Windows users and groups who will access the NAS 200 storage.

You may define Windows users and groups locally on the NAS 200. Alternatively, you can add the NAS 200 to an existing Windows domain that is controlled by a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), and define new users and groups on the PDC who can access the NAS 200 storage and/or allow existing users and groups to access the NAS 200 storage.

If you are defining local Windows users and groups, follow the steps in “Defining local Windows users and groups”. If you are giving access to the NAS 200 storage to users and groups in an existing Windows domain, follow the steps in “Giving storage access to Windows domain users and groups” on page 28.
