Before you can create add a Windows File Server to EmpowerID as a managed resource system, EmpowerID must first be connected to Active Directory. For the details, see Connecting to Active Directory. Additionally, for EmpowerID to have the necessary NTFS permissions to manage shared folders, the PowerShell user account configured for the resource system needs to have permissions to manage shared folders on each file server. |

Select the Enforcement tab and do the following to specify the type of rights enforcement to be applied to any Resource Role groups created by EmpowerID for the shares on the file server: (This process is used to determine who should have access to shares on the server based on their assignments to Access Levels in EmpowerID and is enforced using special domain local groups known as "Resource Role Groups". See Projection and Enforcement for more information about this process. )
Enforcement Type – Select one of the below enforcement options:
No Action – No rights enforcement action occurs.
Projection with No Enforcement – Adds people to Resource Role Groups in EmpowerID, but does not grant these permissions on the server.
Projection with Enforcement – Adds people to Resource Role Groups in EmpowerID and grants the roles to the Resource Role Groups. This is the recommended setting.
Projection with Strict Enforcement – This removes any assignments to groups that occur outside of EmpowerID. If someone is added to a group independently of EmpowerID, they are removed from the group by EmpowerID.
Rights Enforcement Enabled – Select to enable the chosen enforcement on the file server
Schedule – Click the Start and End fields and select the desired start and end date for enforcement.
Interval – Select how often you want the enforcement job to run against the file server.
