About the Types of Webshare User Accounts

There are three types of Webshare user accounts: Visitors, Windows Home

Server User Accounts, and Webshare Managers. Each one is described

below.

Visitors

Windows Home Server User Accounts

Webshare Managers

Visitors

HP Photo Webshare albums can be shared with people outside your local

network, called visitors. If you use the HP MediaSmart Server for personal

use, visitors may be family or friends such as Grandma or Aunt Karen. If you

use the Server for business, visitors may be your customers or business

partners.
Visitors can have different levels of access to albums. At a basic level, visitors

can view photos in the albums you choose to share with them. If you select to

give visitors additional permissions, they can add photos to albums or save

photos to their computers.
Visitors can be assigned to one or more groups. When you share albums,

you select individual visitors or groups of visitors to notify that there is a new

album available to view.

Windows Home Server User Accounts

Windows Home Server user accounts are different from visitors. Windows

Home Server users can also use HP Photo Webshare. If you want to create a

Webshare user account for someone inside your local network, such as a

family member using a computer inside your home, use the Home Server

Console so you can configure their permissions for all of the features on the

HP MediaSmart Server. For more information, see
