you can change your own password.
• User descriptions may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do
not use a symbol and space as the first character.
• When setting users with access privileges, a maximum of 300 users can be registered in the TeraStation.
• Passwords may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters and the following characters: - _ @ ! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , . /
; < > = ? [ ] ^ { } | ~. Do not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.
• In Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/Server 2008, if the network login name is different, a
screen is displayed for entering the username and password, but even after these are entered, access to the
shared folder is not possible. For best results, use the same username and password for both Windows and the
TeraStation.
• Repetitive deletions and additions of users may cause quotas to not work properly. Even if data is copied by
a backup job, quotas may not work properly if a user ID or group ID is duplicated. Always use distinct, unique
usernames and group names.
This completes the procedure for adding users.
Quotas only limit available space. They don't check the amount of space that each user
is using, so these amounts must be managed individually. Owners can be confirmed
with the procedure below.
• From the Properties screen of the fi le or folder, open a new window from the [Security] tab - click [Advanced], and
check using the [Owner] tab.
• In My Computer or Explorer, right-clicking the bar shown for [Name], [Date modifi ed], [Type], [Size], or other param-
eter allows the selection of which parameter details are displayed. [Owner] can be confi rmed from the right-click
menu. The procedure for confi rming the owner varies depending on the OS. The above example is for Windows XP.

•
Importing may take over an hour depending on how many users are imported. During import, other operations per-
formed from the Web Admin interface may be slower than usual, or may not be performed at all.
•
Commas (,) are used as separators. Do not put spaces before or after commas.
•
If a line has an incorrect format, the user for that line will not be registered.
•
If a user with the same name is already registered, the new user information overwrites the old information.
•
Do not use commas (,) in the username, password, or user description. See the previous page for other restrictions on
what characters to use for the username, password and user description.
