Delete User Groups

User group names must not exceed 256 characters. It is case insensitive and it can contain double-byte characters (Such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) but it cannot contain any of the characters below:

" / \ [ ] : ; = , + * ? < > ` '

To properly manage security, it is very important to manage users and user groups. You may set the share access parameters of each user or user group accordingly.

PDC Authentication Settings

If you have a Windows PDC (Primary Domain Controller) server to handle the domain security in your network, you don’t need to re-enter all the users and groups with the Kanguru iNAS 100. You can simply enable the PDC authentication feature; the Kanguru iNAS 100 will connect with the NT domain and get all the information of the domain users and groups automatically.

To enable PDC authentication, you must enter the domain name as well as the user name and password already established in this domain. The Kanguru iNAS 100 will use the user name and password to log in to the NT domain and retrieve user and group information. Once you have configured the Kanguru iNAS 100 to use PDC authentication, all NT domain users and groups will appear in lists of users and groups for which you can define access rights.

Note: NetWare users cannot be authenticated via the PDC server. To properly authenticate NetWare users, please go to User Management · Users · Change Password page and type the password for that user manually.

Quota

The amount of space given out to all users in the system can be limited in order to manage and allocate it efficiently. Once these restrictions are in place, users will be prevented from obtaining more space once they have reached their limit. This prevents monopolizing a large amount of disk space by a small group of users. No limitations are set on the system when it leaves the factory.

Backup/Restore User Settings

You may backup all user settings onto your computer as well as restore previously backed up user settings file to your Kanguru iNAS 100. This function allows you to easily maintain the user settings.

Network Share Management

The primary purpose of network storage is file sharing. In a standard operation environment, you can create different network share folders for various types of files, or provide different file access rights to users or user groups. By factory default, a “public” share folder is created. The share folder gives full access to all users or guests.
