Configuring Access Restrictions on Users and Groups

Adding a Shared Folder

In Settings, click the icon to the right of “Folder Setup”.

Click Create Folder.

Configure the desired settings, then click OK at the bottom of the window.

Notes:

•Names may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Do not use a symbol as the first character in a name.

•The description may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.

•You may create up to 400 shared folders.

•The names of shared folders should not use characters from more than one language. For example, mixing Japanese and Korean characters in names is not supported.

•If multi-byte characters are used in shared folder names, configure the client language to match the characters in

Management - Name/Time/Language.

Recycle Bin

To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may configure your TeraStation to use a recycle bin instead of deleting files immediately. The recycle bin will only work with SMB connections. To empty the recycle bin, click File Sharing - Folder Setup - Empty the recycle bin in Settings.

Accounts

Your TeraStation’s username and password should be the same as your Windows username and password. If they are different, you may not be able to access folders on the TeraStation with access restrictions configured.

Read-only Shares

By default, new shares are set with read & write access, but you may change the attribute to “Read-only” in “Shared Folder Attributes”. Read-only shares and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have “Read-only” added to the shared folder description.

Hidden Shares

To hide a shared SMB folder, select “Hidden Share (SMB Only)” and click OK. To open a hidden folder, click Start - Search programs and files and enter “\\TeraStation name\Shared folder name$\” for the name. Example: If the TeraStation name is “TS-XX001” and the shared folder name is “share”, then enter “\\TS-XX001\share$\” to open it.

Note: FTP, SFTP, and Mac AFP folders cannot be hidden.

Adding Users

1 In “File Sharing”, select Users.

Click Create User.

Enter the desired settings, then click OK.

Notes:

•Usernames may contain up to 128 characters, including hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), !, #, &, @, $, *, ^, and %. Do not use a symbol as the first character.

•For Windows 8, use a local username instead of your Windows Live ID.

•The user ID should be a number from 1000 to 1999. Each user ID should be unique. If this field is left blank, a user ID is assigned automatically.

•Do not duplicate user IDs, group IDs, usernames, or group names. Each should be distinct and unique.

•The description may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.

•When setting users with access privileges, a maximum of 300 users, including “admin” and “guest”, can be registered in the TeraStation.

•Passwords may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters and the following characters: - _ @ ! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , . / ; < > = ? “ [ ] ^ { } | ~. Do not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.

•Use the same username and password for both Windows and the TeraStation or you may not be able to access shared folders.

Importing User Information

You can import users in File Sharing - Users by clicking Import CSV File. Existing users will be overwritten. Format for user data: Username (required), password (required), and user description (optional). Examples:

username1,password1,comment1

username2,password2,comment2

username3,password3,comment3

Guidelines:

•Use commas (,) as separators. Do not put spaces before or after commas.

•If a line has an incorrect format, the user on that line will not be registered.

•If a username exists, the new user information will overwrite the old information.

•Do not use commas (,) in the username, password, or user description.

Note: Imported users are added to the “hdusers” group automatically.

Shared Folder Owners

To confirm the owner of a shared folder from Windows XP, from the Properties screen of the file or folder, open a new window from the Security tab. Click Advanced, then click the Owner tab.

Adding Groups

1 In “File Sharing”, select Groups.

Click Add Group.

Enter settings, then click OK.

Notes:

•Group names may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). Do not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.

•Group descriptions may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.

•If the group ID field is left blank, a group ID is automatically assigned. Use numbers between 1000 and 1999 to set a group ID manually. Don’t use duplicate group IDs.

•You may register up to 300 groups with the TeraStation.

•If you are logged in as a member of the general users group, you can only change your own password. If you’re logged in as an administrator, you can change any settings, including other users’ passwords. If you are logged in as a member of the power users group, you can create and edit shared folders, users, and groups.

Access Restrictions

1 In “File Sharing”, select Folder Setup.

2 Click the shared folder that you want to set access restrictions for.

Click Edit.

Enable “Access Restrictions”.

5 Select the level of access for the user or group you added.

: Read and write access allowed : Read access allowed : Access prohibited

6 Click OK.

Notes

•The example above shows access restriction by user. To restrict access by group, click the Local Groups and select group permissions.

•If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access. The most restrictive access always applies.

•The following characters are handled differently by Mac OS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when sharing data between Mac OS and Windows:

•Windows does not support some characters that Mac OS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename on a Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters.

? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : “ , | *

•Do not use any of the following words as a username or group name: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync, shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql, splx

•Do not use any of the following words as the name of a shared folder. These words are reserved for internal use by the TeraStation: info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, usbdisk# (where # is a number, for example: usbdisk1)

•Don’t use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:

•File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.

•Configure hidden and read-only file attributes in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and may cause unexpected behavior.

•Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.

•If shared folders are accessed from a Macintosh, information files for the Macintosh may be generated automatically. Do not delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Macintosh.

•If an SMB connection is used with OS X 10.3.9, the names of mounted volumes may appear as unreadable characters in Finder and other applications. This is not a problem with the filename or data.

•With OS X 10.5 to 10.5.6, Spotlight searches are not supported over AFP connections. Use SMB connections or upgrade to OS X 10.5.7 or later.

•The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShareServer; the zone cannot be specified.

•When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such as date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.

•Hard drive capacity is shown in Settings in actual gigabytes. The Properties window in Windows may show GiB instead, which will be a smaller number.

•During a file transfer, if settings are changed, the file transfer operation may be aborted.

•File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system.

•If the Ethernet cable is disconnected or a power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:

-The preset data (TeraStation name, user, and group) may be erased.

-An incomplete file may be copied and the file can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the TeraStation, delete the file, and perform the copy operation again.

•After a drive is formatted, the “% Used” and “Amount Used” in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive space is used for the system area.

Active Directory

The TeraStation can join an Active Directory domain. Up to 1000 domain users and 1000 groups may be downloaded from Active Directory.

Note: If usernames or group names from Active Directory include multi-byte characters, you will not be able to configure access restrictions for them.

In Settings, select Network.

Select Workgroup/Domain.

Click Edit.

Select “Active Directory”, then click Next.

5 Click Yes.

6 Enter the desired settings, then click OK.

7 Choose Folder Setup.

8 Click a shared folder that you want to set access restrictions for.

9 Click Edit.

10 Enable “Access Restrictions”.

11 Select the level of access for the user or group:

: Read and write access allowed : Read access allowed : Access prohibited

12 Click OK.

Notes:

•If both read-only and read & write permissions are given, the user will have read-only access. The most restrictive access setting will apply.

•To have the TeraStation join an Active Directory domain, configure it to use a DNS server that can resolve names for the Active Directory domain.

•After building an Active Directory domain, the administrator password for joining the domain must be changed at least once, or joining the Active Directory domain will fail.

•The DNS name and NetBIOS name of Active Directory domains should be identical.

•If there are more than 5 minutes difference between the TeraStation’s clock and the domain controller’s clock, joining the domain or authenticating domain users and groups may fail. For best results, use an NTP server to set the time for all network devices.

•The TeraStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and 1000 groups. 10,000 users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.

•To use the TeraStation as a member server in an Active Directory domain, the TeraStation should be logged in to the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain account.

•If the TeraStation is a member server of an Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.

•If your TeraStation is a member server in an Active Directory domain and you change the authentication method to “Workgroup”, the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.

•When the TeraStation joins an Active Directory domain, FTP is disabled. Before use FTP, move the FTP switch back to the position.

•Don’t disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.

NT Domains

In an NT domain environment, the TeraStation uses account information from the NT domain server to set access restrictions for files and folders on the TeraStation. There’s no need to perform individual account management for the TeraStation. If multiple TeraStations are installed on the network, the account information is centrally managed in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and management.

Note: A maximum of 1000 domain users and 1000 groups can be downloaded from an NT domain server.

Create an account on the domain controller for the TeraStation.

In Settings, click Network.

Select Workgroup/Domain.

Click Edit.

Select “NT Domain”, then click Next.

Note: To use Active Directory from Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, select “Active Directory” instead of “NT Domain”.

Click Yes.

Enter settings and click OK.

Click to the right of “Folder Setup”.

Click a shared folder for which you want to set access restrictions.

Click Edit.

Enable “Access Restrictions”.

12 Select the level of access for “Domain Users” or “Domain Groups” you added.

: Read and write access allowed : Read access allowed : Access prohibited

13 Click OK.

Notes:

•If you change the TeraStation’s name, you will no longer be able to use domain users and groups or access restrictions. To repair this, rejoin the domain.

•If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access.

•If a domain username is more than 20 bytes long, the TeraStation truncates it to 20 bytes.

•The TeraStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and 1000 groups. 10,000 users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.

•To use the TeraStation as a member server in an NT domain, the TeraStation should be logged in to the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain account.

•If the TeraStation is a member server of an NT domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.

•When you change the user or group settings on the domain controller, these changes may not take effect immediately on the TeraStation until it is rebooted.

•If your TeraStation is a member server in an NT domain and you change the authentication method to “Workgroup”, the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.
