Overview
The Barricade administrator can control Barricade usage by creating and managing
Users, Groups, and Shares.
♦
Users: Each user is identified by their User Name and Password. The Admin-
istrator can create Users, and also limit the amount of Disk Storage available to
a user.
♦
Groups: Users are organized into user Groups. A user can belong to many
Groups.
♦
Shares: A "Share" is a folder (directory) on the Barricade which users can ac-
cess. Only the Barricade Administrator can create Shares. However, within a
Share, users who have access to that Share can create other folders (directories)
as well as files.
♦
Access Rights: Access to a share can be "Read-only" or "Read-Write". To re-
duce administration workload, access to a Share is granted to a User Group,
rather than to individual users.
Note:
•
A Share can be accessed by only 1 Group, but a Group can access many
Shares.
•
The admin user, and any other users who are added to the administrator
group, ALWAYS have Read/Write access to ALL shares and folders.
•
The guest user has Read/Write access to the public share. This can be
changed, and access to additional shares can be granted, by changing the
access rights for the everyone group.
•
Users who do not have a User Name on the Barricade are automatically
given the guest login.
Web Interface
To create and manage users, groups and shares, a Web-style interface is provided.
The Barricade contains a HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and con-
figure it, using a Web Browser. The Web Browser must support JavaScript V1.1
The interface has been tested on the following Browsers:
♦
Netscape Navigator 4.08 or later
♦
Internet Explorer 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5
