STORAGE SERVER USER’S GUIDE
Groups
• View the current Groups, modify their access to Shares, and
add or delete Users from any Group.
• Create new Groups, or delete existing Groups.
Shares
• Create, delete and modify Shares. A "Share" is a folder
(directory) which Users can access.
• Access rights are set by Group rather than by individual user.
Users
• View the list of existing users, and modify individual user data.
• Create or delete individual users.
Remember:
•The guest and admin users cannot be deleted.
•The admin user cannot be removed or moved from its
existing group, "administrator”.
• By default, the admin user has no password. Assigning a
password is recommended.
•The admin user, and all other members of the
administrator group, always have Read/Write access to
all shares and folders.
