the default member of this group.
3. guests: unlike the members of the
“
users
”
group, those of
“
guests
”
do not have their own
home folders, instead, they can access the public folders on the NAS server. The account
“
guest
”
is the default member of this group.
Note: Users can only belong to either the
“
users
”
or the
“
guests
”
group, not to both. Suppose a
company has two departments A and B. Department A has purchased a NAS server for their
employees to store and share information. Part of the space should be made available to
department B. In this case, the system administrator can setup accounts for each member of
department A and B, then group the department A accounts under
“
users
”
and the members of
department B under
“
guests
”
. That way the employees of department A will have their own home
folders, while the members of department B will be able to access only those folders for which
they have access privileges.
