BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help.
Managing BlackArmor Users
This section describes the features of a user account and provides an overview of how to set
up new accounts using BlackArmor Manager. For step-by-step instructions for using
BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help.
Working with User Accounts
Everyone who will be using your BlackArmor NAS 110 server needs a unique user account.
However, a user account is not required if a folder is made public for access by others. As a
BlackArmor administrator, you can customize each user account as required to suit the
needs of that BlackArmor user. (See “Creating User Accounts” on page 21 for more
information.)
You can:
Give a user administrator privileges
Add the user to a group account (see the next section)
Create a private share for the user
After a user account has been created, it can be modified or deleted at any time.
To create, modify, or delete a user account, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). User
accounts are in the Access menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor
Manager, refer to the online Help.
Creating and Modifying User Groups
You can make it faster and easier to manage share access by sorting BlackArmor users into
groups. Group accounts make it faster and easier to assign access to shares by allowing you
to set access levels for individuals or entire user groups from a single screen.
Create user groups in BlackArmor Manager by creating the group account and adding users
to it. Assign BlackArmor users to groups based on common access needs.
When you are modifying access permissions for the shares on your BlackArmor NAS 110
server, you can assign a group to a selected access level instead of assigning each individual
separately.
To create, modify, or delete a user group, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). Groups
are in the Access menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to
the online Help.
