User and Group Authentication
The way that users and groups are authenticated depends on the user and group management mode
that you selected (see User and Group Management Modes on page 131):
•Local user database. If you use the local database, create group and user accounts before you set
up shared folder access rights. For more information about creating and managing groups and user
accounts, see Chapter 6, Users and Groups on page 129.
•Active Directory. If you use an external Active Directory, the user and group information is downloaded
to the ReadyNAS. User and group access rights are listed when you click the Access tab in the shared
folder settings pop-up screen.
Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders

1. Select Shares > Shares.
A list of shared folders and LUNs on each volume displays .
2. Select the shared folder that you want to configure.
