Privileges

User

The user management allows you to create, edit, and delete users. In addition, the quick search function allows you to quickly filter users by typing key characters in the filter field.

Import Users

The Import Users function helps create large amount of new user accounts quickly and efficiently. Simply list users in text or Excel® format, and upload it with the Import Users wizard.

User Home

DSM 2.3 automatically creates a "home" folder for every user account. This not only provides each user with a private space to store data, but also eliminates the time and effort spent to repeatedly create shared folders for each account.

Group

Organizing users into groups gives you the convenience of assigning access rights for shared folders. Group management allows you to create, edit and delete groups, as well as quickly filter groups by typing key characters in the filter field.

Shared Folder

Shared folder management allows you to create, edit, search, delete, and encrypt shared folders. The privilege setup option provides flexible settings according to the user or group.

Encryption1

To further protect the security of sensenstive data, DSM 2.3 provides share-level AES 256-bit encryption to aid in the prevention of unauthorized access attempts. The smart data check feature ensures the encryption key security is high enough for proper protection. The encrypted shared folder is usually unmounted and inaccessible, until it is mounted by entering the encryption key.

Privileges setup

To assign privileges to a specific folder, assign each users privilege by defining "Read/Write", "Read only", or "No access" within the shared folder options.

Besides the general privileges setup, the advanced privileges allows you to further control access privileges with options such as "Disable directory browsing", "Disable modification of existing files", and "Disable file downloading". Enabling all three options equals to the "write only" access right, meaning files can be uploaded but browsing or downloading not permitted. In addition, you are able to create NFS rules for each shared folder.

Sub-folder Privileges Setting

No longer limited to just the shared folder level, authorized users may modify privileges of folders, sub-folders, and individual files on File Station 3.

Application

DSM 2.3 allows you to individually assign privileges to users and determine which applications they are able to access.



1 Encryption available for select models only.
