A group is a group of users with specific rights to specific shared folders. A business may want to make a Manager group and add all of its managers to the group. This group could have access to a shared folder that the regular employees do not have access to. The users inside the group will still exist but will no longer be members of the deleted group. Security - Add New Group Group Name: This will be the name of the group. For example, the managers's group could be named `Managers'. Group Description: The group description should be used to differentiate the different groups on LinkStation. A brief sentence or phrase regarding the users inside of the group is recommended. Select Affiliated Users: Select the users that are to be added to this new group. The check box next to the user's name should be checked if they are to be added to the group. Users can be added to or removed from the group at a later time by editing the group and checking or unchecking their respective boxes. Clicking Apply will set the settings. 0 Security Settings - Shared Folder Setup User accounts allow LinkStation to limit access to certain or all shared folders. If a user does not have the proper user account credentials, then access to the data will be denied. NOTE: User accounts will only be used on shares with the Access Restriction function turned on. If a user is deleted, they will also be removed from any groups they were associated with. 1 Security Settings - Shared Folder Setup User Name: Enter a name for each user here. For instance, you could use the user's first name as the user name. The password can be up to 8 characters and can contain spaces, hyphens, and underscores.

Troubleshooting - Multiple Shares When adding multiple shares, it's possible that you may get an error message similar to the following: This is caused by having multiple shares to the same resource using different credentials. The error occurs when connecting to at least one secure, restricted share. Due to a constraint in Microsoft Windows only one set of credentials can map drive letters for a network resource (LinkStation). Thus, only one username and password can be used while mapping to your LinkStation, even if different drive letters are mapped to different shares. [. . . ]
