When you click Users in the navigation bar, the Users & Computers page appears. This
page displays a list of all currently configured Windows and Mac OS X users, as well as
all Linux and other Mac computers.
Only the individuals or computers that appear on this page can access the shared folders or
back up their local hard disks on the storage system. (In this guide, the term user refers to
both individuals and computers.) You can add, modify, or remove users at any time.
Windows and Mac OS X users can also be put into groups. Putting users into groups
makes it easier to give several users access to the same shared folder at once. For example,
in an office environment, you might create one group for all users and give that group
read-only access to a shared folder with corporate policies. You might then create separate
groups for each department (such as Sales or HR) and give those groups read/write access
to shared folders with information specifically for those groups (such as expense reports
or company benefits). Each user can be a member of multiple groups.
To add a user, refer to "Adding Users" on page
For Windows and Mac OS X users, you can change the password used to access the
shared folders, but not the user name. This change will not affect current connections, but
will take effect the next time the person tries to connect to a shared folder.
For Linux and other Mac users, you can change the IP address or computer name, but not
the computer description. Changing this information immediately disconnects that
computer from the shared folders.
