Creating Local Users and Groups in Active Directory Mode
After an AD or local administrator logs in to the px12-450r, that user can create additional local users and
groups on the px12-450r. The Users and Groups page lists all local and AD users and groups on the px12-
450r.
1. On the Users and Groups page, click
Add users and groups...
2. In the Import Users and Groups from Active Directory page, under Local, click Users to create a
local user or Groups to create a group. You can add AD members to any local groups you create.
3. Enter the necessary credentials for the user or the group name, and click Create.
Creating Share Permissions for AD Users and Local Users
You can create access permissions for both AD and local users on any new or existing Shares on your
px12-450r. For more information, see
adding Shares and managing Shares .
Switching to Workgroup Mode from Active Directory
You can switch your px12-450r from AD mode to Workgroup.
1. On the Device Identification page, select Workgroup.
2. Click Apply.
After changing to Workgroup mode, if there are any administrator users on your px12-450r, you are required
to log back in to the px12-450r. You must log in as a local user, and you do not have the choice to select an
AD domain. Also, the Users and Groups page no longer lists the AD users and groups.
If you had not enabled security on your px12-450r prior to changing from Workgroup to Active
Directory, your px12-450r did not have any local users. Security is automatically enabled when
you configure AD. When you switch back to Workgroup, the Switch to Workgroup Mode dialog
box displays. You must create an administrator user because security is not disabled by
switching back to Workgroup. After creating the admin user, you remain logged in to the px12-
450r.
