Share Accounts; User Security Mode; Specify A Workgroup; Setting Up Accounts - Infrant Technologies Readynas User Manual

► S H A R E A C C O U N T S
You will notice the Accounts tab which consists of share accounts which match the current share
names on the ReadyNAS. These share accounts are listed to allow you the option of changing the
UID and quota assigned to the share. The share quota can be changed from the Share Listing in the
Share menu as well. The UID does not need to be changed unless you wish to avoid a UID conflict
with an existing NFS user.

User Security Mode

In User security mode, you specify a workgroup name just as you would in the previous security
option, and create user and group accounts. You will have control over how much disk space is
allocated for each user or group.
In this security mode, each user will be given a home share on the ReadyNAS device that the user
can use to keep private data such as backups of the user's PC. This home share is accessible only by
that user and the administrator who needs the privilege to perform backups of these private shares.
The option to automatically generate the private home share is controlled in the
Accounts/Preferences tab, and you can disable it if you wish.
Note
Private user shares are only accessible by users using CIFS (Windows) or
AppleTalk file protocols.
To set up the ReadyNAS for this security mode, you will need the following information:
Workgroup name
Group names you wish to create (i.e. Marketing, Sales, Engineering)
User names you wish to create (plus email addresses if you will be setting disk quotas)
Amount of disk space you would like to allocate to users and groups (optional)
► S P E C I F Y A W O R K G R O U P
To change or set a workgroup name, enter the desired name in the Workgroup field in the User
option box. The name can be the workgroup name that is already used on your Windows network.
► S E T T I N G U P A C C O U N T S
In this security mode, the Accounts tab allows you to manage user and group accounts on the
ReadyNAS. A good starting point would be to select the Manage groups option from the drop-
down box in the upper right corner.
