This chapter reviews how the WD Sentinel server fits into your office and delineates the tasks for which the Administrator and Users have responsibilities.

Types of WD Sentinel DX4000 Users

At a high level there are two categories of users who need to access one or more features of your WD Sentinel server.

Administrator—This is the person who performs the setup and routine management tasks on the WD Sentinel server. This person is also the holder of the Administrator password of your WD Sentinel server.

Users—You can have up to 25 user accounts on your WD Sentinel server. These can be:

-Internal Users – The internal users are typically the employees (including the Admin- istrator) in your office, working locally or occasionally from a remote location (e.g. Sales Staff), who need to access business data and server resources.

-External Users – The external users are the customers and business partners with whom you need to exchange business data.

The WD Sentinel server offers different paradigms for each type of user. The table below provides a view into the usage model and tasks for each category of users.
