Adding Users; Modifying Users - US Robotics USR8700 User Manual

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.

Adding Users

To add a user, refer to "Adding Users"

Modifying Users

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 that a
user 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.
Note: To change the user name or computer description, you must remove the existing user as
described in "Removing Users"
