as a member of the power users group, you can create and edit shared folders, users, and groups.

TeraStation: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync, shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp,

Configuring Access Restrictions
You may restrict access to specific shared folders, including external USB drives.
Notes:
• Access restrictions can be set separately for each shared folder, but not for folders within the shared folders.
• Configure access restrictions through Settings. Configuring access restrictions through Windows is not supported
and may cause unexpected behavior.
• You can also configure users, groups, and shared folders from Easy Admin by clicking Access Restrictions .
• Shared folders with limited access can still be used as backup destinations.
• If you change access restrictions for a user or group while they are accessing files, unexpected behavior may
result.
