5. From the Unauthorized users list, select the name of the user(s) who should be given

access this shared folder. To select multiple, contiguous users, hold down the Shift key and
select the first user, then select the last user. All users between the first and last selected
user are selected. To select multiple, non-contiguous users, hold down the Ctrl key as you
select each user. Then click the “Add” button corresponding to the access rights that the
selected user(s) should have:

Read-Only: Only read the files in the shared folder and its subfolders.

Read/Write: Read, add, modify, and delete the folders and files in the shared
folder.

6. The selected user(s) will then move from the Unauthorized users list to the Authorized users

list along with the type of access granted to the user(s). If you accidentally add a user that
you didn’t mean to add, select the user in the Authorized users list and click “Remove”. The
user will then return to the Unauthorized users list.

Note: The same procedure can be performed for groups as well if groups have
been created. For CIFS users, the page shows all existing groups and users. For
example, if you created a group named Group1, and added User2 and User3 to
that group, the Unauthorized groups list includes Group1, and the Unauthorized
users list includes User2 and User3. If you select Group1 and click “Add (Read-
Only)”, Group1 moves to the Authorized groups list, but User2 and User3 do not
move to the Authorized users list. This allows you to specify unique access rights
for those users. For example, you could select User3 and click “Add
(Read/Write)”. This will mean that everyone in Group1 will have read-only access
to the shared folder except User3, who will have read/write access to it. On the
Shared Folders page, the group name in the Users with access column is
preceded by an @ symbol.
