Managing security for Removable Storage

Removable Storage provides user-level security for media pools and libraries. Media pool security controls user access to media. Library security controls user access to library drives, slots, and inject/eject ports.

User permissions determine which users or groups of users can access media pools and libraries. Before assigning permissions for a particular media pool or library, it is a good idea to use Active Directory Users and Computers to create a user group containing the accounts of users who need access to a media pool or library. It is also a good idea to review the security tips listed in the Removable Storage Best practices for Removable Storage.
