To edit an existing user:
1. Click the radio button beside the user to edit and click “Edit”. For Windows and OS X users,
the page shown in Figure 3-7 will be displayed. Only the password used to access the
shared folders can be changed, but not the user name. This change will not affect current
connections, but will take effect the next time someone tries to connect to a shared folder.
2. For Linux and other Mac users, the page shown in Figure 3-8 will be displayed. The IP
address or computer name can be changed, but not the computer description. Changing
this information immediately disconnects that computer from the shared folders.
To remove an existing user:
Click the radio button beside the user to remove and click “Remove”. When prompted to
confirm the removal, click “Yes”.
Warning: When removing a Windows/OS X user, that user’s personal (home)
folder is automatically deleted. It is recommended that the user copy any data
from this folder to another location to ensure that it is not lost before removing
the user.
3.4 Groups
Windows and OS X users can be put into groups, which makes it easier to give several users
access to the same shared folder at once.
When you click “Users” in the main menu and click “Groups” in the left menu, the page
displays a list of all currently configured groups (Figure 3-9). When you select a group in the
Groups list, the members of that group appear in the adjacent Members list.
