Groups created in Grouper are automatically provisioned in Active Directory (the authority that RStor uses for file and folders security permissions) using the following naming convention:\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
gpr_csurs_natsci_[grouper folder name]<\/em>_[grouper group name]<\/em>\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n For your RStor Group Share, CNSIT has created two Grouper groups on default. One is an admins group and the other is a members group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Members of the admins group (named gpr_csurs_natsci_RStorGroup_admins<\/strong> in Active Directory) have full control of your RStor folder and can manage Grouper groups as well as set permissions in your RStor Group folders through the Windows security tab.\u202f You may add members to this initial admins group and\/or create additional groups within Grouper to help manage Grouper permissions and\/or define RStor folder security.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n Members of the initial members group will have access (edit) to the RStor Group folders, but cannot alter permissions through the security tab nor manage Grouper groups for this RStor folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVANCED:<\/strong> Managing permissions for your RStor folder using Grouper<\/strong> – with theoretical examples that stray from the default setup.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n The following steps detail how to create an additional group and assign\/restrict permissions to your RStor folders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s say you have created two folders in your RStorGroup folder as follows:\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially, all members of your your admins and members groups have access to these folders. You would like to limit access to allow only a certain group of members to access the “Staff” folder.\u202f Additionally, you only want admins to access the “Private” folder.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n This staff<\/strong> group (known as gpr_csurs_natsci_RStorGroup_staff<\/strong> in Active Directory) has now been created and you have added Homer Simpson as a member of this group.\u202f\u202f\u202fRepeat step 6 to add additional members to the Staff group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n **Please note, creating groups in Grouper may take 60 minutes to replicate to Active Directory**\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s adjust the RStor folder permissions for this new group. First we need to give the members of the staff group access to your RStorGroup folder so they can get a directory listing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any questions or need help with these steps, please contact us with a ticket at https:\/\/cnsit.natsci.colostate.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cnsit.colostate.edu\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/M8hDQ7Q-300x201-1.png\")
