The NAS server uses a domain controller to authenticate users when they

access the device. Access Control Lists (ACLs) define a user's access rights to a

particular object. Users accessing the resources of the system must be logged

onto an NT domain and must have specific rights to access the given

resource. The resource is not only the share, but the directories and files

within the share as well. Administrators and users may restrict access to any

file, directory, or group of files and directories to any user or group of users

in the domain.
