Build-in Groups or make your own?

[Convict]

I was wondering...

Is there any difference between join your new user to an existing build in group, wheel for instance, instead of creating a new one?
Share/permission type will be windows.

After comparing permissions from different types of groups created nothing was changing. Im i missing something?

My current setup is one user , one pool and a couple of datasets. Same permission set to all of them.

Thank you.

For Windows you do use Active Directory - with FreeNAS being the master - don't you?

Build-in system-users are not only not visible in AD - they simply do not exist. Afaik.

I prefere to create users and usergroups explicitly. This way I can create a group "family" and put my family members in there. They would have no idea what a group "wheel" could possibly mean.

In this scenario managing access rights is being done by windows explorer. (And possibly Microsoft's original Remote System Admin Tools - RSAT)

Pitfall: to use this approach you will want to use the normal Windows version called "Pro", not the castrated one, called "Home".
