4. Enter the requested user information and click Done:

The specified user name and type appears in the list on the Users & Computers page.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all the users that you want to add at this time. (You can

always add more users later.)

To put Windows or Mac OS X users into groups, see “Working with Groups” on page 49.

Creating Shared Folders

In the default local authentication mode, the storage system includes a shared folder named public. All

Windows and Mac OS X users can access it to create, modify or delete files there, unless you change the

list of authorized users or their access rights (as described in “Changing User Access to Shared Folders”

on page 59). In Active Directory authentication mode, you must manually assign users to this folder in

order to provide them with access.

However, you might want to create other shared folders as well. For example, in an office environment, you

might want to create a shared folder for company policies that everyone can only view, and separate

shared folders for confidential business files that only selected individuals or departments can view or

change. In a home environment, you might want to create separate folders for different types of files, like

photos, videos, or music. In addition, since only Windows and Mac OS X users can access the public

folder, you would need to create shared folders if your network includes Linux or other Mac users.

You can create up to 128 shared folders. Users who can access and write to these shared folders can

create additional sub-folders for organizing the files they store there.

For this type of user Do this

Windows/Mac OS X

user (CIFS)

Enter the user name and password for accessing the shared folders. (You must enter

the password a second time to confirm it.)

The user name can be up to 20 characters long and can include letters and numbers.

Note: If the user name and password that you specify here are the same as the

person’s Windows user name and password, the person will not be prompted to

provide a user name and password when accessing the shared folder.

Linux/Other Mac user

(NFS)

Enter a computer description and the IP address or computer name of the person’s

computer.

The Computer description can be the name of the person who typically uses the

computer, or any other description that you want to provide to identify the computer in

Users. This description can be up to 15 characters long.

The IP address or computer name is the IP address or the actual computer name in

the computer's system configuration.

Note: Note: You can create a single user that actually represents multiple computers.

In IP address or computer name, you can use the wildcard characters * and ? to

indicate a range of names. For example, client* or client? would include all

computers in the subnet whose name begins with

client. *.company.com would

include all computers in the domain company.com. However, these wildcards cannot

be used with IP addresses.
