User and Group Account Limitations
You can create up to 8,192 user accounts and up to 8,192 group accounts on your
ReadyNAS storage system. However, creating many accounts on your system can
degrade its performance, so we recommend that you create and maintain only those
accounts that you need.
When you add a user, a private home folder is created for that user. This private home
folder is visible only to the user and the system administrator.
User and Group Management Modes
You can choose between two modes to manage user and group accounts on your
ReadyNAS: Local Users mode and Active Directory mode. You configure either one or
the other:
•
Local Users mode. This mode lets you manually manage user and group accounts
on your ReadyNAS storage system using its local database.
•
Active Directory mode. This mode requires an Active Directory database. If you
use Active Directory mode, you do not use your ReadyNAS system to manage your
users and groups. Instead, you manage them with your Active Directory database
and the changes are transferred to your ReadyNAS system every 12 hours.
To configure Local Users mode:
1. Log in to the ReadyNAS.
2. Select Accounts > Authentication.
3. In the Access Type menu, select Local users.
