Share Access Restriction. If you wish to limit share access to particular users and/or groups, you can enter their names in the Read-only users, Read-only groups, Write-enabled users, and Write-enabled group fields. The names must be valid accounts on the ReadyNAS Pro. Note that access control differs slightly from service to service.

For instance, if you wish to allow read-only access to all and read/write access only user fred and group engr, you would set the following:

•Default: Read-only

•Write-enabled users: fred

•Write-enabled groups: engr

If you wish to limit this access only to hosts 192.168.2.101 and 192.168.2.102, set the following:

•Default: Read-only
