      3. Save. Now the Jellyfish is connected to the Active Directory domain!

      Differences in share permissions:

      While connected to an Active Directory domain, the permissions for each share are flattened. This means that any user or group added to a share will have their respective read/write access set for each subdirectory of the share. You will no longer be able to set user and group permissions per directory.
