HP Media Vault - Manual (Page 67)

As administrator, you must create usernames for each user. You must also assign one of the following three
privilege levels for every user, for every Shared Folder on the media vault:

Full access

Read-only access

No access
You can switch out of this mode by going to the Network Settings tab and selecting another mode.
Why switch to user-based mode?
Let's say you store all your financial files on the media vault. All your network users store their music files to the
media vault so that they can download songs only once from the Internet. But you don't want all your network
users to have access to your financial files. In this case, you would create separate usernames for each user
giving them "Full access" to the Shared Folders containing music. You would then assign "No access" to these
users on Shared Folders that contain financial files. (See Organize your files .)
User-based mode requires a more thorough understanding of the media vault's networking features,
and occasional maintenance of changes. Before deciding to enable User-based access mode, make
sure that you understand the configuration screens. Before enabling this mode, read through each
topic in the Configure your HP Media Vault section.
