ReadyNAS 2100 User Manual
Managing User Access 3-3
v1.0, May 2009
In User security mode, you specify a workgroup name, and create user and group accounts. You
have control over how much disk space is allocated for each user or group.
Each user is given a home share on the ReadyNAS 2100 device that the user can use to keep
private data such as backups of the user’s PC. This home share is accessible only by that user and
the administrator in order to perform backups of the private shares. The option to automatically
generate the private home share is controlled in the Accounts/Preferences tab, and you can disable
it if you wish.
To set up the ReadyNAS 2100 for this security mode, you need the following information:
• Workgroup name
• Group names you wish to create (for example, Marketing, Sales, Engineering)
• User names you wish to create (plus e-mail addresses if you will be setting disk quotas)
• Amount of disk space you want to allocate to users and groups (optional)
To change or set a workgroup name:
1. Select the User radio button.
2. Enter the name you want to use in the Workgroup field in the User section. The name can be
the workgroup name that is already used on your Windows network.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.
Note: Private user shares are accessible only by users using CIFS (Windows) or
AppleTalk file protocols.
