Importing Group Lists - NETGEAR RNDP6620-100NAS - ReadyNAS Pro RNDP6620 Business Edition Software Manual

Importing Group Lists

A user can belong to multiple groups. Once user accounts are created, you can place users
in secondary groups. This allows for finer-grain settings for share access. For instance, you
can have user Joe in the Marketing group also belong to the Sales group so Joe can access
shares restricted to the Marketing and Sales groups.
While adding a new group, specify the amount of disk space you want to allocate to that
group by setting a disk quota. A value of 0 denotes no limit. You can also set the Group ID,
(GID), of the group that you are adding. You can leave this field blank and let the system
automatically assign this value unless you want to match your GID to your NFS clients.
You can view or change your groups by clicking the alphabetical index screen, or click All to
list all groups.
To add a large number of groups, select Import group list from the pull-down menu, and
browse to locate the file containing the group list. You can upload a CSV (comma-separated
values) formatted file containing the group account information.
The file format is:
name1,gid1,quota1,member11:member12:member13
name2,gid2,quota2,member21:member22:member23
name3,gid3,quota3,member31:member32:member33
:
Note the following:
• Spaces around commas are ignored.
• The name field is required.
• Quota is set to the default if not specified.
• GID is automatically generated if not specified.
• Empty fields are replaced with account defaults.
• Group members are optional.
Examples of acceptable formats are as follows. Note that you can omit follow-on commas
and fields if you want to accept the system defaults for those fields, or you can leave the
fields empty:
flintstones
In this example, the group flintstones is created with an automatically assigned GID and
default quota.
rubble,1007,5000,barney:betty
In this example, the group rubble has a GID of 1007, a quota of 5000Mb, with members
barney and betty.
