The files on ND16000 can be shared among multiple users. For easier

management and better control of users' access right, you have to organize users,

user groups and their access right control.

3.6.1 Users

The system has created the following users by default:

1 Administrator

By default, administrator has access to system administration and cannot be deleted.

Guest

This is a built-in user and will not be displayed on User Management page. When you use a non-registered user name to login, the server will recognize the user as a guest and will allow limited access. A guest does not belong to any user group.

Anonymous

This is a built-in user and will not be displayed on User Management page. When you connect to the server by FTP service, you can use this name to login as a guest.

512 users can be created at maximum (including system default users). You can create a new user according to your needs. The following information is required to create a new user:

User name

The user name must not exceed 32 characters. It is case-insensitive and can contain double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean except:

$$ " / \backslash [ ] :; | = , + * ? < > ^ {\prime} $$

Password

The password is case-sensitive and can be 16 characters long at maximum. It is recommended to use a password of at least 6 characters.

You can perform the following settings for users:

+	Create
	Add a user
	Change Password
	Change a user's password
	Create Private Network Share
	Create a user's private network share
	Assign User Groups
	Specify the user groups users belong to
	Quota Settings
	Set user's quota limitation
	Delete
	Remove one or more users

3.6.2 User Groups

User group is a collection of users with the same access right to files or folders.

ND16000 has created the following user groups by default:

1 Administrators

All members in this group have administration right. You cannot delete this group.

Everyone

All registered users belong to everyone group. You cannot delete this group.

You can manage user groups with the following options:

1024 groups can be created at maximum. User groups name must not exceed 256 characters. It is case-insensitive and can contain double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, except the following on

$$ " / \backslash [ ] :; | = , + * ? < > ^ {\prime} $$

Create Users and Assign Users to User Group

The following example demonstrates how to create new users and assign users to a user group.

ABC Co. has recently recruited two employees Mr. Jones Lee for Administration Department and Ms. Jane Wu for Sales Department. The IT Department therefore needs to create two user accounts for them to access company data on ND16000.

i. To create a user account, go to User Management-Users. Click Create.

ii. Enter the user name (Jones Lee/ Jane Wu) and password. Check the box "Continue to set the user groups to which this user belongs" and click OK.

iii. Select the user groups the users belong to on the right list, i.e. Mr. Jones Lee for Administration Dept and Ms. Jane Wu for Sales Dept, and click Add. Then click Close.

iv. After creating the users, the users will appear on the list on Create User Page.

Create Private Network Share for User Groups

You can create particular network share for each user group. The procedure is described as below:

1. To create a network share called media accessible by Administration

Department only, please go to "User Management—User Groups" page.

Select the user group Administration Dept and click Create Private Network Share on the right.

1. Enter the network share name media. Select to disk volume that the share will be created in and specify the path automatically or manually. Enter the comment for the network share, e.g. media folder for Admin Dept and click

1. You can see the folder media in Network Share Management page.

1. Enter Access Control. You can see that only Administration Dept has full access right to the folder.

3.6.3 Quota

To allocate disk volume efficiently, you can specify the quota that can be used by each user. When this function is enabled and a user has reached his/her disk quota, he/she cannot upload data to the server anymore. By default, no limitations are set for users. You can modify the following two options:

i. Enable quota for all users
ii. Quota size on each disk volume

Please refer to the following example to configure the quota setting of users: The IT department is planning to set the disk quota of Mr. Jones Lee from Administration Department and Ms. Jane Wu from Sales Department on ND16000. The disk quota is 2000MB for Mr. Jones Lee and 4000MB for Ms. Jane Wu.

1. Please go to Quota page in User Management to enable quota for all users. Enter the quota size on each disk volume, e.g. 1000MB. The quota for individual user can be modified later.

1. Select Jones Lee on User page and click Quota Settings on the right.
