Create User's Home Folder
Each DSM user (except for guest) can have his/her own folder called the
home
folder, which is accessible only
by the user and the system administrator. Click
User Home
to enable user home service.
For users belonging to the
administrators
group, DSM users’ home folders are here:
homes/[Username]
Note:
When the user home service is disabled, the
homes
folder will be kept but accessible by users belonging to the
administrators
group only. Users can access their home folders again if the user home service is enabled again.
To delete the
homes
folder, the user home service must be disabled first.
Create Domain/LDAP User’s Home Folder
If you have joined your IoSafe NAS to a directory service as a Windows domain or LDAP client, you can go to
Control Panel
>
Directory Service
>
Domain users
or
LDAP user
to create domain/LDAP users' home folder.
Click
User Home
and tick
Enable home service for domain users
or
Enable home service for LDAP users
.
Like local users, all domain/LDAP users can access their own home folder via CIFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, or File
Station. Users belonging to the
administrators
group can access all personal folders located in the
homes
default shared folder. For users belonging to the
administrators
group, domain/LDAP users’ home folders are in
the folder named
@DH-domain name
(for domain users) or
@LH-FQDN name
(for LDAP users). The name of
the user's home folder is the user account plus a unique number.
Note:
To delete the
homes
shared folder, user home service must be disabled first.
Enabling domain/LDAP user home service will also enable the local user home service if it's not enabled yet.
The domain user home service would be disabled if the local user home service is disabled.
Create Groups
Go to
Control Panel
>
Group
to create and edit a group, add users to the group, and then edit the group's
properties, saving you the trouble of editing users one by one.
Groups created by default include the following:
administrators
: Users belonging to the
administrators
group have the same administrative privilege as
admin
.
users
: All users belong to the
users
group.
Note:
For more information about editing a group's access privileges to shared folders or applications, see "Allow
Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders" and "Allow Users to Access Applications" for more information.
Allow Users to Access Applications
Go to
Control Panel
>
Privileges
to decide which applications could be accessed by a user.
