certain actions. A permission is a rule associated with
an object (usually a file, folder, or share) that
regulates which users, and in what manner those
users, can access the object. Any local or domain user
who is a member of the local Administrator group on
the DataSafe NAS has administrative privileges on the
DataSafe NAS. Likewise, any user who is a member of
a group that has been assigned to the Administrator
group on the local computer has administrative
privileges for that computer. For example, you could
assign the TeamLeads groups, consisting of Tom,
Mary, Hazel and Jim to the Administrative group on the
DataSafe NAS. Each of the TeamLeads group members
would then have administrative privileges on the
DataSafe NAS.

Adding a User Account

When you add a user account, you should include a
user name, the user's full name, a brief description of
the account, and an account password.
Keep in mind that user names must be unique, and
must not duplicate the name of any existing group.
A user name cannot be identical to any other user or
group name on the computer being administered. A
user name can contain up to 20 uppercase or
lowercase characters except for the following: " / \ [ ] :
; | = , + * ? < >. Additionally, a user name cannot consist
solely of periods (.) or spaces.
