Modifying Users - US Robotics USR8700 User Manual

Modifying Users

In local authentication mode, 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 the person tries to connect to a shared folder. (In Active Directory authentication
mode, you cannot modify Windows and Mac OS X users, only Linux and other Mac users.)
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"
description as described in

Mac OS X user, this button is dimmed.
