Workgroup Member Mode
In Workgroup mode there are two options for limiting share access to important data:
Password-based share access (PBSA)
User-based share access (UBSA).
PBSA is a simple model that allows only users having the correct password to gain access to an
individual share.
UBSA access is more flexible. An administrator can grant permissions to shares to each individual
user. An individual user can be assigned either no access, full access, or read access on a
share-by-share basis. If you select USBA, you must also designate a pool. The JS100 unit uses this
pool to save user information. If no disk pool exists, you must create one (see
“Creating a New Disk
Pool”
) before you select UBSA.
To configure a JS100 unit as a member of workgroup
1
Select
the
Workgroup Member Mode checkbox.
2
Type the workgroup name in the Workgroup Name box.
3
Select either the Password Based Share Access check box or the User Based Share Access
check box. If you select the User Based Share Access check box, in the Pool Name list, click the
pool where user accounts are stored.

Domain Member Mode
A domain is a workgroup with the added feature of single sign-on. With single sign-on, a user has
one account that is shared across multiple computers. Also, the user can access resources on
another computer without having to reauthenticate.
Computers in a domain are controlled from a central location (domain controller) and users must
obtain central authentication before joining the domain. If your network uses a domain, you may
prefer to configure the JS100 unit to connect to the network as a domain member. When the JS100
unit is configured in this way, the JS100 unit software sends a request to the PDC to authenticate
users, which provides user-level security.
