(Optional) Planning Local Authentication Users
When CIFS/FTP/HTTP shares are being matched, different local authentication users or user groups need to be selected for easy user permission control and management.
Local Authentication Users
- Username
- Password and security policies
- Primary group
The primary group to which users belong controls the users' permission for CIFS shares. A user must and can only belong to one primary group.
- Secondary group
The concepts of primary group and secondary group are for local authentication users and have no relationship with each other. A local authentication user must belong to a primary group but not to a secondary group.
NOTE: For details about how to create a local authentication user, see Creating a Local Authentication User.
Local Authentication User Groups
A user group consists of different users. You can assign different permissions for different user groups. Then users in the user groups can inherit the permissions of the user groups.
