Configuring Access Restrictions; Local Users And Groups - Buffalo TeraStation 1000 User Manual

• If you are logged in as a member of the general users group, you can only change your own password. If you're
logged in as an administrator, you can change any settings, including other users' passwords. If you are logged in
as a member of the power users group, you can create and edit shared folders, users, and groups.
• Do not use any of the following words for a group name as these words are reserved for internal use by the
TeraStation: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync, shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp,
kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser,
apache, mysql, splx

Configuring Access Restrictions

You may restrict access to specific shared folders, including external USB drives.
Notes:
• Access restrictions can be set separately for each shared folder, but not for folders within the shared folders.
• Configure access restrictions through Settings. Configuring access restrictions through Windows is not supported
and may cause unexpected behavior.
• You can also configure users, groups, and shared folders from Easy Admin by clicking Access Restrictions.
• Shared folders with limited access can still be used as backup destinations.
• If you change access restrictions for a user or group while they are accessing files, unexpected behavior may
result.
