When there's a conflict between Windows ACL settings and the shared folder privileges, the system will
automatically adopt the settings the two may have in common. For example, if the shared folder privilege is
"Read/Write", but ACL privilege is "Read". Then final privilege will be only be "Read".
Note:
You can only add up to 200 ACL explicit permission entries for a file or folder.
Windows ACL is only supported on EXT4 file system. For previous DSM 2.3 users, you need to create at least one
EXT4 volume to use ACL feature. This means, you have to format at least one hard disk and re-create a volume.
Formatting DiskStation will result in erasing all stored data and settings. Please make sure all your data is
backed up before processing.
To define new privileges for domain users, make sure DSM and Windows clients are in the same domain.
