Mac OS X, but you cannot remove any Windows/Mac OS X user. Those can be removed only
on the Active Directory server. If you remove a user who is currently connected to the storage
system, that user remains connected until the user disconnects from the shared folder or shuts
down the computer.
To remove an existing user:
Click the radio button beside the user to remove and click “Remove”. When prompted to confirm
the removal, click “Yes”.
Warning: When removing a Windows/OS X user, that user’s personal (home)
folder is automatically deleted. It is recommended that the user copy any data
from this folder to another location to ensure that it is not lost before removing the
user.
3.4 Groups
Windows and OS X users can be put into groups, which makes it easier to give several users
access to the same shared folder at once.
When you click “Users” in the main menu and click “Groups” in the left menu, the page displays
a list of all currently configured groups (Figure 3-9). When you select a group in the Groups list,
the members of that group appear in the adjacent Members list.
Figure 3-9: Groups Page
If you’re using local authentication mode, you can add a group, modify the group membership,
or remove groups at any time. If you’re using Active Directory authentication mode, you can
view the group membership but not add, modify, or remove groups. Those actions can be done
only on the Active Directory server.
