Using Active Directory Domain to Manage Users and
Groups
Active Directory Users and Groups Overview
On the Users and Groups page, administrator users can import users and groups from an Active Directory
(AD) server and grant them access rights to Shares on the ix4-300d Network Storage. In addition, you can
also have both local and AD users on your ix4-300d. See
Managing Your ix4-300d Network Storage with
Local and Active Directory Users
on page 72for more information. For more information on enabling AD on
the ix4-300d, refer to
Configuring Your ix4-300d Network Storage to Use Active Directory
on page 11. For
information on creating an administrator user, refer to
Enabling Security and Creating an Administrator
User
on page 63.

Importing Users and Groups from Active Directory
1. Click
Import Users and Groups from Active Directory.
2. The pop-up window for Import Users and Groups from Active Directory is searchable, and you
can sort by name, descriptive name, or type. You can filter the list of users and groups by selecting
a specific user or group from the domain tree.
3. Select the checkbox next to a user or group to import that user or group to your ix4-300d Network
Storage from your Active Directory domain. Select the checkbox in the title bar to select all the
users and groups in your Active Directory domain.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Synchronizing with the Active Directory Controller
You can poll the Active Directory controller at any time to check for new users and groups on the controller,
so you can add them to your ix4-300d. This keeps your ix4-300d up to date with any group changes on the
controller and indicates if any users on the controller were deleted or promoted.
●
Click
Synchronize with the Active Directory Controller.
Changing Access Permissions
Expand Access Permissions to change user or group permissions to a secured Share. When the ix4-300d
is in AD mode, AD and local users can have access to a secured Share.
