How to disable anonymous disk access

By default, no password is needed for read and write access to the drive. Before you can manage group and user access to shared folders, you must disable anonymous disk access.

To disable anonymous disk access:

Storage > Administration

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 21).

2.Click the Storage tab, then click the Administration page.

3.Next to Anonymous Disk Access, select Disabled.

4.Click Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.

How to create a group

By default, the default Admin group has read and write access to all shared folders. By default, the Guest group has read only access and has no access rights to any of the shared folders.

IMPORTANT

More than one group can be configured with access to a shared folder, but a user can be a member of only one group.

To create a group:

Storage > Administration

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 21).

2.Click the Storage tab, then click the Administration page.
