Configuring Access Restrictions for Users and Groups

Adding a Shared Folder

In Settings, click the icon to the right of “Folder Setup”.

Click Create Folder.

Configure the settings, then click OK.

Notes:

•Names may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Do not use a symbol as the first character in a name.

•The description may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.

•You may create up to 400 shared folders.

•The names of shared folders should not use characters from more than one language. For example, mixing Japanese and Korean characters in names is not supported.

•If multi-byte characters are used in shared folder names, configure the client language to match the characters in

Management - Name/Time/Language.

Recycle Bin

To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may configure your TeraStation to use a recycle bin instead of deleting files immediately. The recycle bin will only work with SMB connections. To empty the recycle bin, click File Sharing - Folder Setup - Empty Recycle Bin in Settings.

Notes:

•You can prevent guests and other users from emptying the trash by navigating to File Sharing - SMB - Permissions for Trashbox and selecting “Administrator only”.

•If you use Mac OS, make sure that your recycle bin enables “Exclude Mac OS temp files from recycle bin”. If this setting is changed, files in the recycle bin may be corrupted.

Accounts

Your TeraStation username and password should be the same as your Windows username and password. If they are different, you may not be able to access folders on the TeraStation with access restrictions configured.

Read-only Shares

By default, new shares are set with read & write access, but you may change the attribute to Read-only in Shared Folder Attributes. Read-only shares and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have “Read-only” added to the shared folder description.

Hidden Shares

Click Create User.

Enter the desired settings, then click OK.

Notes:

•Usernames may contain up to 128 characters, including hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), !, #, &, @, $, *, ^, and %. Do not use a symbol as the first character.

•For Windows 8.1 and Windows 8, use a local username instead of your Windows Live ID.

•The user ID should be a number from 1000 to 1999. Each user ID should be unique. If this field is left blank, a user ID is assigned automatically.

•Do not duplicate user IDs, group IDs, usernames, or group names. Each should be distinct and unique.

•The description may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.

•When setting users with access privileges, a maximum of 300 users, including “admin” and “guest”, can be registered in the TeraStation.

•Passwords may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters and the following characters: - _ @ ! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , . / ; < > = ? “ [ ] ^ { } | ~. Do not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.

•Use the same username and password for both Windows and the TeraStation or you may not be able to access shared folders.

Importing User Information

You can import users in File Sharing - Users by clicking Import CSV File. Existing users will be overwritten. Format for user data: Username (required), password (required), and user description (optional). Examples:

username1,password1,comment1

username2,password2,comment2

Adding Groups

1 In “File Sharing”, select Groups.

Click Add Group.

Enter settings, then click OK.

Notes:
