Securing Your Device and Contents
Adding Users
To add a user:
1. Navigate to the Users page.
2. Before you can create or modify users, you must have
security enabled on your Iomega
StorCenter Iomega device . If security is already enabled, you are ready to add users. If not, a
pop-up window appears for enabling security and create an administrator user to manage your
secured Iomega device .
3. To add a new user, click
Add a user.
4. Enter the following information:
• Username — enter the username of the user to be created. This is the username for
logging into the Iomega device . There is a maximum of 32 characters, and spaces are
not allowed. The following are not valid usernames: root, daemon, bin, sys, sync, mail,
proxy, www-data, backup, operator, sshd, postfix, nobody, unuser, guest, and rsync.
• Descriptive Name — add a descriptive name to identify the user. For example, if you
created a user with a Username of jsmith, you may want to add the Descriptive Name
Joe Smith.
• Password — create a password for the user. The password should be between 8 and 12
characters, and spaces are not allowed.
• Confirm Password — confirm the password. If the text in this field does not match the
text in the Password field, an error will be returned.
• Administrator — check this box to allow this user to manage the Iomega device .
Note: An administrator does not have default access to all Shares. Access to Shares
must be granted explicitly to all users, including administrators.
• Add a secured Share for this user — check this box to create a secured Share for this
user. This Share will have the new user's name, and allows access only to that user.
• Send a Personal Cloud invitation — click this link to invite a user to join your Personal
Cloud on the Iomega device . This opens the Send a Personal Cloud Invitation dialog box
where you create an invitation by entering a user's email address along with any
additional comments. A user then receives the invitation, which contains the Personal
Cloud name and username and password. A user enters that information from Iomega
Storage Manager . For more information on this, refer to the online help with Iomega
Storage Manager . You see this option only if a
Personal Cloud has been created on the
Iomega device .
• Allow this user to add trusted devices to my Personal Cloud — check this box to allow
a user to
join a trusted device to a Personal Cloud. A trusted device is a machine,
either a computer or another Iomega device , that belongs to an added user. Only
trusted devices that belong to users that have been added to the Iomega device can
join the Iomega Personal Cloud . This option displays only if a
Personal Cloud has been
created on the Iomega device .
5. Click Create.
