pop-up window is searchable, and you can sort by name, descriptive name, or type. You can filter
the list of users and groups by selecting a specific user or group from the domain tree.
3. Select the checkbox next to a user or group to import that user or group to your Iomega StorCenter ix12 from your Active Directory domain. Select the
checkbox in the title bar to select all the users and groups in your Active Directory domain.

Synchronizing with the Active Directory Controller
You can poll the Active Directory controller at any time to check for new users and groups on the controller, so you can add them to your Iomega StorCenter
ix12. This keeps your Iomega StorCenter ix12 up to date with any group changes on the controller and indicates if any users on the controller were deleted or
promoted.

Changing Access Permissions

permissions to secured iSCSI drives.

the user or group to access. Select the checkbox in the title bar to select all the Shares listed. If iSCSI is enabled, select the checkbox in the title bar to
also select all the iSCSI drives listed.
4. Click

to save your changes.
5. In the table listing the Shares, check
Read
or
Write
for each Share. If iSCSI is enabled, check
Read
or

for each iSCSI drive. A user or group can
have full access by checking both
Read

Read
.
A user or group must have read access at a minimum. A user or group cannot have only write access.

Read

drive and remove the iSCSI drive from the table.
7. Click
Apply
to save your changes.
8. If NFS is enabled, the GID field is visible. The GID value must be the same on both the Linux client and the Iomega StorCenter ix12 for the client to
access files. To modify the GID, type a new GID value.
Setting Quotas
1. Click
Quota settings
to enable quotas and set a default quota. Quotas are only set for individual users, and not groups.

Quota Settings
dialog, click
Enable quotas
to turn on quotas for each user. Quotas can be set for each user individually or set as a default value.
3. Enter a
Default Quota
in gigabytes. When you set a default quota, this becomes the quota size for all new users.
4. Check
Set default quota for all users
to globally set the same quota size to all users. You may overwrite this default value for individual users by
setting their quota size separately in the user's Information section.
5. Click
