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.
