Managing shared folders
When you click Shared Folders in the navigation bar , the page displays a list of
shared
resources, including both shared folders and USB devices. When you select
an item in t he Shared folders list, the users and groups that can access that item
display
in the Users with access list. (For groups, the group name is preceded by
an @ symbol.)
By default, the storage system includes a shared folder named public . In local
authentication
mode, all users are automatically assigned to this folder and can create,
modify , or delete files t here. (You change the list o f authorized users or their access
rights). I n Active Directory authentication mode, you must manually assign users to
this folder in order to provide them with access.
The Shared folders list also includes usbdisk1 and usbdisk2 , whether or no t any
USB disks have been connected to the storage system.
You can create additional shared folders and delete them at any time. For both
shared
f olders and USB disks, you can change which users can access them and
what
they can do with t he subfolders and files there.

shared
folder (as described in “Accessing shared folders”) and delete the desired
items.
