Users and Groups Overview
When security is enabled, the Users & Groups page displays all users and groups on the px2-300d
Network Storage and enables administrators to add and modify users and groups.
Non-administrator users can be added to limit access to Share content. Additional administrator users can
be added to allow specific users to configure the px2-300d.
The table displays the Usernames and Descriptive Name of each user and group. Click in a row of the
table to view or modify details about a user or group.
