Managing shared folders
When you click Shared Folders in the navigation bar, the page displays a list of
shared resources, including both shared folders and USB devices. When you select
an item in the
Shared folders list, the users and groups that can access that item
appear in the Users with access list. (For groups, the group name is preceded by
an @ symbol.)
By default, the storage system includes a shared folder named public . In local
authentication mode, all users are automatically assigned to this folder and can create,
modify, or delete files there. (You change the list of authorized users or their access
rights). In Active Directory authentication mode, you must manually assign users to
this folder in order to provide them with access.
The Shared folders list also includes usbdisk1 and usbdisk2 , whether or not any
USB disks have been connected to the storage system.
You can create additional shared folders and delete them at any time. For both
shared folders and USB disks, you can change which users can access them and
what they can do with the subfolders and files there.
