NAS 1500s and 500s Administration Guide
Managing file level permissions
The WebUI of the NAS server provides security at the share level and is discussed later in this
chapter. Security at the file level is managed using Windows Explorer available from the
Desktop of the NAS server. To access the NAS server Desktop from the WebUI, go to the
Maintenance menu and select Remote Desktop.
File level security includes settings for permissions, ownership, and auditing for individual
files.
To enter file permissions:
1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder or file that needs to be changed and then
right-click the folder.
2. Select Properties, and then select the Security tab.
