DESCRIPTION

Available Users/Groups

This field lists the users/groups to which you can assign access rights.

 

 

Authority

Use this field to assign access rights to users/groups.

 

Full Control gives users/groups full access (read, write and execute) to all files

 

contained within this share.

 

Read-Onlygives users/groups read-only access (they cannot modify nor

 

execute) to all files contained within this share.

 

Deny blocks access (users/groups cannot read, modify, nor execute) to all files

 

contained within this share.

 

Among all access rights, Deny has the highest priority. For example, User A

 

belongs to Group 1. You assign User A full access rights to the Music share but

 

deny access rights to Group 1. Then User A cannot access the Music share.

 

Note: If you deny access to all users, no-one can use the share, not even the

 

administrator.

 

 

 

Click an arrow button to move users/groups between the left and right fields. Use

 

the arrow buttons to assign access rights to users/groups.

17.3.3 Public and ANONYMOUS Share Access Rights

If you make a share public, users do not need to log in.

With ANONYMOUS FTP, you must enter either 'anonymous' or 'ftp' as the username. Any other name is considered a username, so must be valid and have a corresponding correct password.

17.4 The Recycle Bin Configuration Screen

Use this screen to periodically clean up items in all recycle bins.

17.4.1 Recycle Bins

Recycle bins in the NSA help users recover accidentally deleted files or folders in the shares. When you delete an item, a recycle folder is created within the share to hold the deleted item.

Every share can have its own recycle folder. You must enable the recycle-bin function to recycle deleted items. You can configure this setting when you add or edit a share. See Section 17.3.1 on page 313 for details on activating the recycle bin in a share.

Later if you want to retrieve a deleted item, you can locate the item in the recycle folder. You may move or copy the deleted item to another share.
