3.2. Being An Administrator
ImpOrTANT INfO:
The first person to
use the drive becomes the Administrator by
default. However, any user can be given Ad-
ministrative privileges.
ImpOrTANT INfO:
You can register more
fingerprints per user as long as you don’t ex-
ceed a maximum of 10 fingerprints total for
all users. So, for example, you could register
2 fingerprints each for 5 users (including the
Administrator) or 10 fingerprints for 1 user
or any other combination in between.
The Administrator can register fingerprints for
up to four additional users. When registering users,
the Administrator can opt to give them Read Only
privileges, Read/Write privileges, or Administra-
tion privileges.
Read Only
privileges allow a user to read data
stored on the drive but not to write new data to
the drive. This user cannot modify data or remove
files.
Read/Write
privileges allow a user to both read
data stored on the drive as well as write new data
to it.
Administration
privileges allow a user com-
plete control over who else can use the drive and
what data access rights they have. For more on Ad-
ministration privileges, see section 6.2.
