Hi All,

I am looking for the best way to set up permissions. It seems that right now anyone on my network can access the Volume_1 and Volume_2 drives with full read/write. OH NOES!!11!!one

Volume_2 is strictly for scheduled backups.

File structure is:

Volume_1/Users/Username.


Right now I only have 2 users on the network but I want to make sure that anyone who connects to my network has read-only on both Volume_1 and 2

I want to only have to map the Volume_1 and Volume_2 to the computers.

So Volume_1 and 2 mapped to my computer gives me full access to all.
Volume_1 and 2 mapped to a known user gives them full read and only write to their personal folder.
Volume_1 and 2 mapped to a unknown user gives them only read.

Questions:

What permmissions are given to a undefined user? If it is not default read-only is there a setting?

From digging aroung it seems that permissions may be inherited from the parent folder so If I give a user read/write to "their" folder do I need to map that as a separate drive?

This would be pretty lame and probably confuse anyone who connects to my network.

Thanks,

By default, the 323 will share everything to everyone; if you look at the default network access list, it will look something like:

Volume_1 / Volume_1 / ALL / <blank comment> / yes / yes / RW
Volume_2 / Volume_2 / ALL / <blank comment> / yes / yes / RW

What you need to do is create the appropriate user accounts in users/groups first.  Then you can delete the default network access list and start over.  You're going to need to create a "user" folder in your backup (Volume_2) if you want the same kind of persmissions work like you have it on Volume_1.  What you want could look like:

Volume_1 / Volume_1 / edifonzo / admin share / yes / yes / RW
User1 / Volume_1/Users/User1 / user1's share / yes / yes / RW
User2 / Volume_1/Users/User2 / user2's share / yes / yes / RW
Volume_2 / Volume_2 / edifonzo / admin backup share / yes / yes / RW
Backup_User1 / Volume_2/Users/Backup_User1 / user1's backup share / yes / yes / RW
Backup_User2 / Volume_2/Users/Backup_User2 / user2's backup share / yes / yes / RW

The reason for the user folder in the backup drive as well is if you want a given user to be restricted to a specific location while you have access to everything, you're going to have to do it in a way that works with the 323 since you can't have multiple permissions on a folder like you can on Windows Server System. 

Hope this helps you out.
