Synology NAS User's Guide
Based on DSM 6.1
48 Chapter 9: Set Up File Sharing
Create User's Home Folder
Each DSM user (except for guest) can have his/her own folder called the home folder, which is accessible only
by the user and the system administrator. Click User Home to enable user home service.
For users belonging to the administrators group, DSM users’ home folders are here: homes/[Username]
Note:
When the user home service is disabled, the homes folder will be kept but accessible by users belonging to the
administrators group only. Users can access their home folders again if the user home service is enabled again.
To delete the homes folder, the user home service must be disabled first.
Create Domain/LDAP User’s Home Folder
If you have joined your Synology NAS to a directory service as a Windows domain or LDAP client, you can go to
Control Panel > Domain/LDAP > Domain or LDAP to create domain/LDAP users' home folder. Click User
Home and tick Enable home service for domain users or Enable home service for LDAP users.
Like local users, all domain/LDAP users can access their own home folder via CIFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, or File
Station. Users belonging to the administrators group can access all personal folders located in the homes
default shared folder. For users belonging to the administrators group, domain/LDAP users’ home folders are in
the folder named @DH-domain name (for domain users) or @LH-FQDN name (for LDAP users). The name of
the user's home folder is the user account plus a unique number.
Note:
To delete the homes shared folder, user home service must be disabled first.
Enabling domain/LDAP user home service will also enable the local user home service if it's not enabled yet.
The domain user home service would be disabled if the local user home service is disabled.
Create Groups
Go to Control Panel > Group to create and edit a group, add users to the group, and then edit the group's
properties, saving you the trouble of editing users one by one.
Groups created by default include the following:
administrators: Users belonging to the administrators group have the same administrative privilege as
admin.
users: All users belong to the users group.
Note: For more information about editing a group's access privileges to shared folders or applications, see "Allow
Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders" and "Allow Users to Access Applications" for more information.
Allow Users to Access Applications
Go to Control Panel > Group > Edit > Applications to decide which applications could be accessed by a user.
