Advanced Setup - Section

The PowerBay NAS array keeps track of data stored by its network users by manag-

ing the data’s destination folder (also referred to herein as a “shared folder” or sim-

ply a “share”). Furthermore, the PowerBay NAS array must keep track of who may

read from, and write to, each folder. It does this by setting up user accounts and

groups. A group is a collection of speciﬁc user accounts. When you assign access

privileges to a new share you have the option of either making assignments for

individual user accounts, or for an entire group of users at once by referring to the

group’s name.

The default factory settings provide for no default user accounts or default groups.

Though there is one default folder (named Volume_1), this folder has no default ac-

cess privileges and so will not be accessible at ﬁrst. The simplest way to make the

Volume_1 folder accessible is to use the web conﬁguration tool (Advanced Setup /

Shared Folders) to deﬁne the Volume_1 folder privileges as “Allow everybody read

and write.”

The Users/Groups menu is used to create and manage user and group accounts.

These are used for user access and read/write privileges for speciﬁed folders on the

network drive (using the Network Access menu) or to setup FTP access and privi-

leges. When the device is connected to a Workgroup up to 128 users and 10 groups

can be created. When the device is connected to an Active Directory a combined to-

tal of 10000 users and groups can be displayed. By default, all users have read and

write access to all newly created folders, but access rules can be created in the

Network Access menu.
