    Hello tskin,

     

    So, okay I just found out something.

     

    ReadyNAS OS 6 does not currently allow you to enable SSH access on a domain user account, only the admin account. There's no way to restrict who can and cannot access the NAS via SSH/SFTP/SCP if domain accounts are enabled; it's an "all or nothing" setting with AD. As long as they have a domain account, they would have SFTP access to the NAS. Also, ReadyNAS OS 6 does not support SFTP chroots, which prevent users from accessing things that are not for them to see.


    Either way, the permissions are based on file access permissions and not share access permission.
