Overview
An administrative group is a logical categorization of the NAS shares that share something in common. The administrative group allows you to organize your NAS shares for better management. To manage the shares under one group, you can assign a group administrator. It is mandatory that you create an administrative group and attach NAS shares to it. For NAS devices, you can group NAS shares assigned to the same organization under one administrative group. You can create multiple administrative groups based on your grouping criteria and add NAS shares to the groups.
