User Management
The NAS provides a client/server
environment for users to share files
over the network. File sharing works by
authorizing the users or groups to access shared folders by their username and
password. When creating a new shared folder, user and groups from the current list must
be assigned. When a user/group tries to access the folder, the system will check the list
of valid users for the shared folder. If the user/group is included in the list, the user/group
then has permission to access the shared folder.
Users
For file sharing to work, we have to allow users and/or groups. We create the user
accounts here. The
admin
and
guest
accounts are in
the system by default and
cannot be removed. The
admin
account is different
than the one used to
access the UI and can be
modified.
Enter a username and
password.
Note:
Windows
98 SE, Me users should
user the same username
as their Windows login.
Passwords are
recommended, but are not
required. Click
Apply
when completed.
