Create User and Group Files
You can create a list of users or groups in any text editor and import it to your ReadyNAS
system. This is helpful if you have a long list of users or groups.
Each line in the file specifies a single user or group and contains the same fields used in the
Add Users or Add Groups screen. The fields are separated by commas and spaces around
the commas are ignored. If a field is blank, the default is used instead.
User Text Files
For users, each line contains the following:
<user_name>, <password>, <primary_group_ID>, <email_address>, <user_ID>, <quota>
The user name and password are required and the other fields are optional.
For example, the following line creates the user fred with the password rock45, email address
fred@example.com, a quota of 10 Mb, and sets the primary group ID and user ID to defaults:
fred, rock45, , fred@example.com, , 10
Group Text Files
For groups, each line contains the following:
<group_name>, <group_ID>, <quota>, <user_1>:<user_2>:<user_3>...
The group name is required, and the other fields are optional. Note that user names are
separated by colons instead of commas.
For example, the following line creates a group named marketing with the members maria,
fred, and sam and sets the group ID and quota to defaults:
marketing, , , maria:fred:sam
