You can create users whom you would like to grant access to one or more shares on your Drobo
5N2. For additional information, see
Creating and Using Shares.
1.6.2.1.1.1 Types of users
There are four types of users reserved for special use:
Admin – the administrator, who has access to all users and administrative controls. This user
●
cannot be deleted and is given Read-Write access to every share automatically.
Everyone – includes any user who is connected to the Drobo 5N2 over the network. This user
●
can be given access to shares without password protection.
All Users – all users you have created. Users must use their passwords to access shares to which
●
they have been given rights.
Guests – any user who signs in to the Drobo 5N2 over the network as a guest. Guests only have

access to the Public folder.
Note:
You need to be logged in as the administrator to create users. There is only one
administrative user per Drobo device.
