Assigning Share Access to Users

Once a user account is created, you can assign access to the various shares on your WD
My Cloud EX4 device using the following steps.

1. On the Set Up User screen, select the user for which you’d like to assign a share.

Note:

Only private shares can be edited. Public shares always have read/write access and
are therefore grayed out on the screen.

2. In the Share Access area, select the type of access you’d like to assign to the selected

user:

Read/Write Access: Select this option to provide the user account with read/

write access to the selected share. The user can view and update the share.

Read Only Access: Select this option to provide the user account with read

only access to the selected share. The user can view the share but can't update it.

Deny Access: The User account has no access to this share.

The user account is updated with your share access selections.
