Changing User Information

Username

Drive. There is a maximum of 32 characters and spaces are not allowed.
Descriptive Name
— add a descriptive name to identify the user. For example, if you created a user with a Username of jsmith, you may want
to add the Descriptive Name Joe Smith.
Password
— create a password for the user. The password should be between 8 and 12 characters and spaces are not allowed.
Confirm Password
— confirm the password. If the text in this field does not match the text in the Password field, an error will be returned.
Administrator

An administrator does not inherently have access to all Shares. Access to Shares must be granted explicitly to administrators,
as with other users.
Add a secured Share for this user
— check this box if you would like to create a secured Share for this user. The created Share will have the
new user's name and will give access only to that user.
2. Click

access.
3. In the Add Access Permissions pop-up window, select which Shares this user can access and click
Apply
.
4. Uncheck Read or both Read and Write to limit or deny access permission to each Share for this user.
5. Click
Apply
to save your changes. When both Read and Write are unchecked, the Share is removed from the list.
