About Local Groups
After initialization, the system will automatically create two user groups, “administrators” and
“users”. “administrators” is the default administrator group. If a user is added to this group,
they will possess a majority of the administrator access rights. The “admin” account belongs
to the “administrators” group by default and cannot be removed from it.
AD/ LDAP
AD：The full name is Windows Active Directory, which is a directory service launched by
Microsoft that allows IT managers to efficiently and centrally manage all resources in the
domain, and is widely adopted by major enterprises.
LDAP：LDAP, also known as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is mainly used for unified
management of accounts and passwords. Using LDAP can more efficiently manage user
authentication or computer resource permissions across the enterprise. Users can easily add an
ASUSTOR NAS to their existing LDAP server, providing easier ways to help manage productivity.
