4.7. Dashboard: Users
This page allows you to manage user accounts. See below to learn
how to accomplish user management-related tasks (
). Note
that this product does not feature group management, or the abil-
ity for one user to access another user’s share. These features area
available in LaCie’s professional-level NAS products.
User data is organized in a table.

If you have set a quota, the amount used will be indicated in
percentage.

If Time Machine is activated for the user share, it will be in-
dicated.

OpenShare (public share) will be listed in the bottom table.
4.7.1. Adding a New User
A private share is automatically created with each new user. The
name of the share is conveniently associated with the user login. For
example, the new user “Sally”, has SallyShare. If Sally changes her
login to John, the share become JohnShare. Note that it is not pos-
sible to create additional public shares.
