Can a share use Active Directory for permissions?

I want to deploy an Unraid server in a small office. Can Unraid retrieve folder/file permissions from Active Directory?

I'm not familiar enough with AD to know the answer.

I just did a little research on AD and based on what I found is yes, AD can be used for share permissions on an Unraid share.  You need to enable AD on Unraid in SMB settings.  If you switch back to WORKGROUP, you need to run the fix permissions script on the AD shares to get permissions back to nobody:users.

In addition, I believe the permissions scripts will remove the access-control list (ACL) permissions which are often added when Active Directory is controlling things. 

(These ACL permissions put a plus sign (+) at the end of the standard Linux permissions when viewed in a terminal using the   ls   command.)
