User Guide

Access Control

Local Users

Here you can manage (add, edit or remove) the local users in the system and assign their access

rights to shared folders.

Usernames support multibyte character sets (such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic) and

can contain a maximum of 32 characters. Unsupported characters include: # $ % * + = [ ] | : ; ” ’ <

> , ? /. Usernames cannot start with @-。and cannot start or end with a blank space. Usernames

cannot contain consecutive blank spaces.

Reminder: If you only have a few users on the system, you can set up the access rights for

each of them one by one.

Within ADM, a single user’s access rights with regards to shared folders will depend on the user’s

existing access rights and on the access rights of the group that the user belongs to. Both sets of

access rights will be checked against each other in order to determine priority (please see Appendix

7.1). For convenience, the system provides a preview mode which allows you to first preview any

changes that you make to access rights.

Import users: You can batch create user accounts by importing a users list file.

To edit the users list file:

Method 1. Use a Text Editor:

1. Open a new file with a text editor.

2. Enter a user's information in the following order and separate them by semicolon (;)

• Username

• Password

• Description

• Email

• Quota (GB) (this setting will be applied to all existing volumes)

• Group (if you want to add the user to multiple groups, use comma to separate the group names)
