Modifying users
In local authentication mode, for Windows and Mac OS X users you can change the
password used to access the shared folders, but not the user name. This change
will not affect current connections, but will take effect the next time the person tries
to connect to a shared folder. (In Active Directory authentication mode, you cannot
modify Windows/Mac OS X users, only Linux/other Mac users.)
For Linux and other Mac users, you can change the IP address or computer name,
but not the computer description. Changing this information immediately
disconnects that computer from the shared folders.
Note: To change the user name or computer description, you must remove the
existing user as described in “Removing users” , and then add a new
user with the desired name or description as described in “Adding users”
To modify a user:
1. In the navigation bar, click Users .
2. Select the radio button next to the user that you want to modify.
3. Click Edit .
Note: If the storage system uses Active Directory authentication mode
and you select a Windows/Mac OS X user, this button displays dimmed.
