Creating User Groups - Seagate Business Storage 1-Bay NAS Administrator's Manual

Setting Up Your Seagate® NAS
• Services: Click the service(s) you want for this new shared folder.
Note: Review a detailed explanation in "Creating User Accounts" on page 11
• Volume: Select the volume in which to create the shared folder.
• Recycle Bin Service: Protect files on the share from being accidentally deleted. Deleted
files can be restored by the administrator.
• Media Service: Use your Seagate NAS to share digital photos, videos and music with
people on your local network and stream iTunes music.
• Encrypt Shared Folder: Protect the shared folder so that it is only accessible with the use
of an encryption key. The encryption process places the security key on a user-supplied
USB drive that is connected to the NAS. If the NAS is powered off, you must insert the
USB drive into the NAS's port to "unlock" the secured share. The USB drive can be
removed after the share is encrypted, but must be used if the NAS is restarted.
• Shared Folder Access: Set up access control after creating this shared folder.
In the NAS Manager, go to Users & Groups > Shared Folder Permissions to set up
access control. Click the Edit icon next to the shared folder you want to modify. Ensure
that the Public Access checkbox is not selected. Options display allowing you to:
• Grant access to specified users only.
• Limit some users to read-only access. Read-only access means that a user can view
files on the shared folder, but can't edit those files or upload files to the shared folder.
• Granting full access to the shared folder, which allows the user to save and back up
files to the shared folder, edit files on the shared folder, and download any files from
the shared folder to a computer or to a USB/USM drive connected to the NAS.

Creating User Groups

You can make it faster and easier to manage shared folder access by sorting Seagate NAS
users into groups.
In the NAS Manager, go to Users & Groups > Groups. Click Add Group. You need to
supply the following information for each group that you create.
• Group Name: Enter a name for the group that makes it easy to identify and remember.
Spaces are not allowed in group names.
• Description: Enter a description of the group (for instance, a common function, a common
location in the office, access to common shares, etc.)
• Users: Select the users you want to be part of the group.
