If you wish to limit share access to particular users and/or groups, you can enter their names in the
Read-only users, Read-only groups, Write-enabled users, and Write-enabled group fields.
The names must be valid accounts, either on the ioSafe R4 or on the domain controller.
For instance, if you wish to allow read-only access to all and read/write access only user fred and
group engr, you would set the following:
Default: Read-only
Write-enabled users: fred
Write-enabled groups: engr
If you wish to limit the above access only to hosts 192.168.2.101 and 192.168.2.102, set the
following:
Default: Read-only
Hosts allowed access: 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102
Write-enabled users: fred
Write-enabled groups: engr
If you wish to specify some users and groups for read-only access and some for read/write access,
and disallow all other users and groups, enter the following:
Default: Disabled
Hosts allowed access: 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102
Read-only users: mary, joe
Read-only groups: marketing, finance
Write-enabled users: fred
Write-enabled groups: engr
Note that access control will differ slightly from service to service.

Restricting access to a share will not prevent users from seeing the share in the browse list. In
certain instances, this might not be desirable, such as for backup shares that you may want to
prevent users from seeing. To hide a share, select the Hide this share… option. Users who have
access to this share must specify the path explicitly. For example, to access a hidden share, enter
\\host\share in the Windows Explorer.

The ioSafe R4 can have a Recycle Bin for each share for Windows users. You will see the Enable
Recycle Bin option at the bottom of the Windows [CIFS] access tab.
When enabled, whenever you delete a file, the file gets inserted into the Recycle Bin folder in the
Share rather than being permanently deleted. This allows for a grace period where users can restore
deleted files.
