4.2. Users

Click on the Users link in the navigation bar to open the User Ac-
counts page. Use this page to create, edit and delete user accounts.

Administrator Account

Only one user can have administrative privileges for the Big Disk
Network. This user’s login name cannot be changed from “admin”,
but the password can be changed.

IMPORTANT INFO:

The admin user can also enter an email ad-

dress to which the Big Disk Network can send messages about im-
portant changes to the Big Disk Network’s status (see below).

To change the administrator’s password:

1. Click on the “admin” user in the user list on the Users page. The

“User profile Admin” page opens (a,

Fig. 32

).

2. Enter a new password in the “Password” field. Enter the pass-

word again in the “Confirm password” field.

3. Click Apply (b,

).

Email Notifications

The administrator can provide an email address to which the Big
Disk Network will send notifications of important status changes,
such as disk failure (see chart in section

6. Email Notification Trig-

gers

).

TECHNICAL NOTE:

The Big Disk Network has an integrated SMTP

server that sends emails through port 25. This service is thus disabled
if port 25 is blocked (as with Livebox, Orange, and France Telecom).
As many ISPs block this port, you must configure your router to autho-
rize traffic through this port in order for this service to work.

Fig. 33

shows an email sent informing the administrator that the Big

Disk Network’s temperature has reached critical levels and will be
automatically shutting down.
