3.2. Being An Administrator

The Administrator has complete control over who can use the drive and what data access rights they have. The Administrator can:

•Access the User Administration to add or re- move users

•Assign Read Only, Read/Write, or Administra- tion privileges to users

•Change a user’s profile

•Change an administrator

For more on Administrator privileges, see sec- tion 6.2. Using the Drive as an Administrator.

Important Info: The first person to use the drive becomes the Administrator by default. However, any user can be given Ad- ministrative privileges.

Important Info: You can register more fingerprints per user as long as you don’t ex- ceed a maximum of 10 fingerprints total for all users. So, for example, you could register 2 fingerprints each for 5 users (including the Administrator) or 10 fingerprints for 1 user or any other combination in between.

3.3. About Authorized Users And Rights

The Administrator can register fingerprints for up to four additional users. When registering users, the Administrator can opt to give them Read Only privileges, Read/Write privileges, or Administra- tion privileges.

Read Only privileges allow a user to read data stored on the drive but not to write new data to the drive. This user cannot modify data or remove files.

Read/Write privileges allow a user to both read data stored on the drive as well as write new data to it.

Administration privileges allow a user com- plete control over who else can use the drive and what data access rights they have. For more on Ad- ministration privileges, see section 6.2. Using the Drive as an Administrator.

3.4. Rules For Registering Users

The LaCie SAFE drive can save up to 10 fin- gerprints. Since each registered user (including the Administrator) must register at least two finger- prints, the drive can accommodate a maximum of

one Administrator and up to four users.

For more on registering users, see section 5. Configuring Your LaCie SAFE Drive.
