5. Via "Edit" > "Add" you get to the mask for the user selection.

6. Select people or group of people for which you want to assign read rights:

  • Make sure that ad.uni-koeln.de is displayed as the search path. If the path is sofs.uni-koeln.de or sofs2.uni-koeln.de the assignment of rights is not possible because people or groups of people are not found. In this case, establish a VPN connection before establishing the network drive connection.
  • The assignment of permissions for the group Domain Users (AD\Domain Users) means that you assign the authorization to all persons with a RRZK account (i.e. all students and employees of the university)!
