If you select this option, you will need to create a user account for anyone accessing this device. This option supports setting disk quotas on a per-user or per-group basis.

In User security mode, you specify a workgroup name, and create user and group accounts. You have control over how much disk space is allocated for each user or group.

Each user is given a home share on the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition device that the user can use to keep private data such as backups of the user’s PC. This home share is accessible only by that user and the administrator in order to perform backups of the private shares. The option to automatically generate the private home share is controlled in the Accounts/Preferences tab, and you can disable it if you wish.

Note: Private user shares are accessible only by users using CIFS (Windows) or AppleTalk file protocols.

To set up the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition for this security mode, you need the following information:

Workgroup name

Group names you wish to create (for example, Marketing, Sales, Engineering)
