Enabling Access Restriction on the previous page will give you this screen, where you can restrict access to your new shared folder to specific users and/or groups.

NOTE: You may add restrictions to an existing shared folder by pressing the Edit Shared Folder button on the main Shared Folder Settings page and enabling Access Restriction.

Here you can specify who may access the new shared folder. Select which groups

and which users will have access to the new shared folder. The group hdusers gives access to all users on the LinkStation, so this will allow access to every user on the LinkStation. Anonymous users will still not have access however. If a group is selected, then every member inside that group will have access to the shared folder. For example, in the image above, Group1 (which includes Bob and Jane) is selected. The user Richard is also selected. This means that Bob, Jane, and Richard will be the only users who will have access to this shared folder.

Press the Apply button when you’re finished making your selections.
