Changing User Information
1. Modify the following information:

Username — enter the username of the user to be created. This will be the username
provided when logging into the Iomega StorCenter px12-400r. There is a maximum of
32 characters, and spaces are not allowed. The following are not valid usernames:
root, daemon, bin, sys, sync, mail, proxy, www-data, backup, operator, sshd, postfix,
nobody, unuser, guest, and rsync.

Descriptive Name — add a descriptive name to identify the user. For example, if you
created a user with a Username of jsmith, you may want to add the Descriptive Name
Joe Smith.
 Password — create a password for the user. The password should be between 8 and 12
characters, and spaces are not allowed.

Confirm Password — confirm the password. If the text in this field does not match the
text in the Password field, an error will be returned.

Send a Personal Cloud invitation — click this link to invite a user to join your Personal
Cloud on the px12-400r. This opens the Send a Personal Cloud Invitation dialog box
where you create an invitation by entering a user's email address along with any
additional comments. A user then receives the invitation, which contains the Personal
Cloud name and username and password. A user enters that information from Iomega
Storage Manager. For more information on this, refer to the online help with Iomega
Storage Manager. You see this option only if a
Personal Cloud has been created on the
px12-400r.

Allow this user to add trusted devices to my Personal Cloud — check this box to allow
a user to join a trusted device to a Personal Cloud. A trusted device is a machine,
either a computer or another px12-400r, that belongs to an added user. Only trusted
devices that belong to users that have been added to the px12-400r can join the
Iomega Personal Cloud. You see this option only if a
Personal Cloud has been created
on the px12-400r.

Quota Size — set a quota size by entering a value in gigabytes. To have no quota, leave
this field blank.

Administrator — check this box if you would like to allow this user to manage the px12-
400r.

Note : An administrator does not inherently have access to all Shares. Access to
Shares must be granted explicitly to administrators, as with other users.
