Because the Basic / Quick Setup functions (Wizard, Add User, Add Group,
and Add Share) have been described previously under “Basic Settings
for Initial Setup”, we begin this reference section with a description of the
Control Panel group of functions.
Users and Groups
This group of settings provides an alternate way to create a new user
account or new group, and also provides a method to modify properties of
existing user accounts or groups.
User Management
Enter the main screen of User Management by selecting Control Panel /
Users and Groups / User Management. Here you are presented entry fi elds
for User Name and Password. If you want to create a new user account, fi ll
in these fi elds directly. The User Name must be lower-case and may be a
maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters, without spaces. The User Name
must begin with an alphabetic character. See further information about User
Name, Description, and the “Create Private Folder” check box under by
referring back to Step 9 of “Basic Setup for Initial Settings”.
If you want to edit an existing user account, select a user from the Existing
User box, and the User Name and Password fi elds will fi ll in automatically.
After completing this form, press Save to save the changes you have made
for this user.
If you want to delete an existing user, fi rst highlight that user’s name in the
Existing User box, and then press the Delete User button.
If you want to edit the group assignment properties of a current user,
fi rst highlight that user’s name in the Existing User box, and then press
the Groups button. If you have created a new user account and want to
assign this user to one or more existing groups, then after pressing Save as
described above, press the Groups button to proceed to the next screen.
The Groups screen presents a list of the selected user’s assigned groups in
the box on the left. The list of groups in the right box includes groups for
which the user is not a member. By selecting group names and pressing
either the Add or Remove button you can reassign the user to various
existing groups. When done with your assignments, press Save to save your
changes.
