
If the Welcome Screen appears, click Configure Device.

Click the User Settings tab.
To modify a user:

2. Click Modify Selected User.
a. To change the username, highlight the name in the New Name box and enter the new name.
b. To change the password, highlight the password in the Password box and enter the new
password. All users must have a password.

Each user you define must have a privilege level for every Shared Folder on your HP Media Vault. The media
vault automatically assigns each user Full-Access for each existing Shared Folder and any new folders you
create. Users keep their Full Access privileges until you change the User’s Default Privilege Level. You
can also change access levels on specific Shared Folders.
To change the User’s Default Privilege Level
1. Select either Read-Only or No Access under User’s Default Privilege Level.
You can also change a user’s access (privilege) level on a specific Shared Folder. For example, you could
keep a user’s default privilege level to full access on all Shared Folders except for one folder where you
have saved financial or other personal data.
2. If you want to make privilege level changes on a specific Shared Folder, proceed to the next section.
Otherwise, click Accept or Cancel. (If you click Cancel, your changes will not be accepted.)
To assign a different access (privilege) level for a user on a specific Shared Folder:
1. Select the Shared Folder from the Select Shared Folder drop-down list.
2. Select the privilege level from the Select Privilege Level drop-down list.
3. Click the Add button.
