Server Manager network shares permission

[Swinzon]

Hi! I am sharing my drives from my NAS, and wondering on how to give folder each permission for each users? Do I have to add users to my server with the same usernames as the clients connecting to it?

What nas, what protocol?

 

You need to add users or attach the nas to a directory server

Folder permissions are just like normal windows permissions. Right click on the folder in explorer, go under security and advanced and you can set who has which permissions, these apply to the shares aswell.

 

The server accounts(or attached active directry domain) is the same as the login accounds, and the permissions are the same aswell.

For for example, my PC where the user is a Microsoft account. How to get me the right  permissions? 

I don't understand it at all

The microsoft accound shouldn't affect it.

 

Make a account on the server. Map the drive.

 

Set permissions like normal.

So, I make a account with the same username as my rig have (patricai) and from there map the drive?

Yep, it doesn't have to be the same, but its nice. You can setup ad to sync accounts, but lets not do that yet.

 

Then set permissions in server. If there is only one user you don't have to run permissions.

But, how does the user on the server affect my user on my machine? 
This user permission stuff is quite difficult....

You need permissions to connect to the server, the server's authentication source is itself so therefore you must use an account that is on the server not on your desktop.

 

When you map a network share you can specify a username to use, that would be the one you create on the server.

This is pretty basic to be honest. Windows Server isn't for use by "average Joe" but it's designed for administrators who know a thing or two about IT management. Permissions is only the top of the iceberg.

 

like stated above: you authenticate from your desktop to the NAS, you need valid credentials for that, which are stored on the NAS.

 

Create a user on the NAS, map appropriate permissions (read only, read/write, udontseeshitnigga), connect from client to server, fill in your credentials and done.

this is true to a a point

it's bacicly the same but you can create new permissions and modifie existing ones, the permission addons are mainly designed for businesses or organisations who need to control who can access/change a file or folder data or contents, this is extremely useful to IT Admins, it makes it much better to work with and not have to mess around in a CLI when it could be fixed in a GUI making it faster and simpler

 

anyways, making a share is easier in 2012 then in any other version, it's good that you started at 2012

this video tells you how it works and what you can do with it

this one shows you how to share one, if you run into any problems let us know, we are always happy to help
