Currently I am reviewing NethServer 7.2 RC.
1- How can we create local users? Users and groups tab does not allow to create local users. I was able to do that with NethServer 6.8
2- When I create shared folder it does not allow to modify its permissions and settings and by default everybody has access and write permission to the shared folder. With NethServer 6.8 I was able to set shared folder permissions.
3- (Kindly Suggestion) It would be nice if user gets additional prompt when Reboot or Shutdown is clicked. I accidentally powered of the server
Hi @Jay_Redstone ,
as suggested by @Hunv ,you have to go to Software Center and install an authentication service.
You can choose from Openldap (easier) or SambaAD.
In your case, to share folders and assign rights to users, you must use SambaAD.
After you can create users and groups and finally shared folders.
Normaly I use openldap if I configure a mail server. I prefer this solution even in the presence of a windows server with AD. I prefer that the servers are independent. I manage small networks (10-20 users) and this configuration does not cause me more work (and saves me a lot of problems ).
In case of use as a file server, I use Samba on Nethserver or access to microsoft domain if present
