Converting Local Users into External Users
If using an external SMB server for authentication, you may convert any local users into external users. This way, the
LinkStation will have a user list that matches the users in the external SMB server, and access restrictions for this
LinkStation’s shared folders may be assigned to the converted “external” users.
Follow the procedure below to convert a local user into an external user. If a local user is converted, their user
information (including passwords) will be removed from the LinkStation. External users cannot be reverted to local
users.
Note:
External authentication should be enabled before local users can be converted. For more information on
external authentication, refer to the “User Authentication with an External SMB Server” section.
