or groups' access to a shared folder.

Allow Linux Clients to Access Shared Folders

At Control Panel > Shared Folder, select a shared folder and click Edit > NFS Permissions to assign NFS

permissions to any shared folder, allowing Linux clients to access it.

Allow Domain Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders

If you have joined your Synology NAS to a directory service as a Windows domain or LDAP client, you can go to

Control Panel > Shared Folder, select a shared folder and click Edit > Permissions to set up and modify the

shared folder privileges of a domain/LDAP user or group.

Note: In the event of privilege conflicts, the privilege priority will be: No access (NA) > Read/Write (RW) > Read only

(RO).

Define Windows ACL Privileges for Shared Folders

Windows Access Control List (ACL) is a list of privileges or permissions that determine specific access rights

under the Windows environment. This can help administrators define access control rules for an individual file or

a directory, and grant different access rights to individual users or groups.

In DSM, the access permissions of shared folders are based on Windows ACL by default. Shared folders

implement the permissions settings of Windows ACL, which also allows for customizing the permissions of

individual files and subfolders. In addition, permissions can be customized via File Station or File Explorer in

Windows.

Through Windows ACL, you can assign different privileges to local and domain users in the system. The

privileges apply to all file-related applications, such as FTP, File Station, NFS, AFP, WebDAV, etc.

Index Shared Folder Contents

By indexing folders with the Universal Search package, you can perform deep search quickly by filename, file

content, and metadata. For detailed instructions, please see DSM Help.

Note: See "Search for Files or Folders" for more information about searching files with File Station.
