Hey guys,
I'm sure this is a very very stupid question and has a super simple answer but I can't seem to figure out the keywords to use to search it up online for the solution and so I come to y'all.
Basically, I just made a Windows 8 server / NAS for my home theater. Apart from it being a media center, I'm also going to use it for file back ups. (3x 2tb HDDs in Raid 5 at the moment)
Now, I have 4 members in my family. I will be the Admin, my sister will be a user and so will be my parents. I'll be laying out folders somewhat like this;
ROOT:
- MEDIA
- Admin
- Sister
- Parents
Now, by default (at the moment), the folder permission is accessible and write enabled by everyone, whoever accesses the server. I want to be able to write to Media and Admin whereas I want to give permissions to my sister to be able to write to her folder and my parents to theirs'.
Media is the common folder we can all write to (add movies, photos, what have you) but other dedicated folders I want to set permissions so only that 1 user can use it. They will be accessing the server via their respective laptops / PCs.
Do I need to add more users for this? And if so, do I add users on the server PC or on the clients' PC? Or do I make a user + password set that'll enable to do what I want them to do?
Also another question about Windows 8 RAID; as I mentioned earlier, I am on RAID 5 (parity) storage pool. Now, if one HDD dies, will Windows restructure the data for me if I replace the dead HDD? Or is that something only FreeNAS' ZFS system does?
Danke!
