appropriate level of access for that user to that information.
When Shared Storage Drive is installed, it includes an Admin user by
default. Admin is the user name you or whoever else administers Shared
Storage Drive use to log in to exercise administrative privileges.
(Note: This is the only account that will allow you to login to the Web
administration portion of the Shared Storage Drive)
To Add a User:
1. Click Create A New User Account.
2. Type the user name in the name field. (Note: The name must have
alpha numeric characters and can be a maximum length of 32
characters.)
3. Type a password in the Password field. You must enter a password
for the user in order to continue.
