Synology DiskStation User's Guide
Based on DSM 3.1
75 Chapter 7: Set Up File Sharing
Create User's Home Folder
Each DSM user (except for guest) can have his/her own folder called the home folder, which is accessible only
by the user and the system administrator.
For DSM admin and users belonging to the administrators group, DSM users’ home folders are here:
homes/[Username]
To enable user home service:
1 Click User Home.
2 Tick Enable user home service.
3 If there are more than one volume on Synology DiskStation, select where you want the homes folder to be
stored.
4 Click OK.
To disable user home service:
1 Click User Home.
2 Uncheck Enable user home service.
When the user home service is disabled, the homes folder will be kept but accessible by admin only. Users can
access their home folders again if the user home service is enabled again.
Note:
To delete the homes folder, the user home service must be disabled first.
The domain user home service would be disabled if the local user home servic e is disabled.
