Good-day Folks,
I am quite new to TrueNAS and I think I’m getting a hang of things. Yesterday, I installed v25.04.0 without any issues and have started configuring it. I attribute my success thus far to the very detailed explanations in the official documentation. However, I am running into a small problem and could use some help.
I have successfully joined my TrueNAS server to my Active Directory domain and I would like to grant the Local Administrator privilege to my Storage_Admins AD Security Group. However, when I attempt to update the Group from the TrueNAS web admin UI, I cannot save the change (the save button is not active).
Seems I am missing something and would appreciate any pointers from this community. Thank you very much!
Here’s a screenshot:
NAS administration with AD users / groups is an enterprise-only feature.
Oh wow, that’s disappointing.
Not ideal I know but you can create multiple local user accounts on your TrueNAS allowing those accounts various levels of access and control over the server and on top of that enforce 2FA.
Yeah, don’t have a choice.
I’m testing TrueNAS out in a lab, hoping to be able to recommend it for adoption in some of our airgapped network (where the solution has been NetApp and Isilon mainly). I’ll just have to note to interested teams that local accounts will have to be used to manage the web interface if they ever attempt to run the community edition.
Hey @kagbasi-ngc - as mentioned, nesting Active Directory users into the TrueNAS web admin UI is one of the features that’s limited to TrueNAS Enterprise. You do get more than just that of course, like our support team, enclosure management, NFS over RDMA.
Assuming that Community delivers the performance and results you want, I’m happy to help get you in contact and/or broker a conversation with the Enterprise team so you can get the integration you’re after.
