ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition User Guide
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 Pioneer 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.
