File Level permissions from AD

[martyturner]

Hi,

 

I've just bought a TS5200D to replace my broken TeraStation Pro.

 

On the TS Pro, I could do file lever Active Directory permissions, as I can on my QNAP219P.

 

I have setup the TS5200D in exactly the same way, but I get access denied when I try and change any file level permissions. I seem to have permissions to the files and folders, i.e. create, modify, delete, but I cannot change permissions. (I want to add some AD groups to certain folders)

 

The share is an SMB share with no access restrictions, I have successfully connected the device to my AD and can see the Domain Users and Domain Groups within the TS5200D administration. What am I missing?

 

Please can anyone help.

 

Thanks,

 

Marty

File level permissions have never been possible on any Terastation (apart from the Windows Storage server units) it is only possible to set share level permissions via the admin page of the unit. All other sub folders and files then inherit the permissions from the parent share.

Hi, very strange, maybe my previous Terastation already had all the Groups on the share then?

 

Anyway, back to my problem, I have ticked the groups I was access to on the share, but they don't come up in the permissions properties within windows.

 

ie. on the NAS I have Domain Groups and have edited each one I want full permissions to on the shares.

 

When I go to file/folder permissions in Windows, I only see 3 users/groups...Administrator, Domain Users, and Everyone.

 

Where are my FTP Users Group or any of the other groups I wanted on there?

Yeah, because you are trying to do NTFS permission on a device that is unix based! ie: it won't work!

Also, FTP won't work when the unit is joined to an AD domain!

Weird, because my previous Terastation allowed my FTP Group.

 

And saying Linux doesn't support folder level AD permissions is incorrect. I can do this on the QNAP nas I bought - Which cannot do offline files, hence my trip back to Terastation.

Fair enough, eitherway, what you are doing is not possible.
