User Manual page
The Administrator has complete control over who
can use the drive and what data access rights they have.
The Administrator can:
3.2. Being An Administrator
ImpOrTANT INfO: The first person to use
the drive becomes an Administrator by default.
Any user can be given Administrative privileges.
ImpOrTANT INfO: You can register more
fingerprints per user as long as you don’t exceed
a maximum of 10 fingerprints total for all users.
So, for example, you could register 2 fingerprints
each for 5 users (including the Administrator) or
10 fingerprints for 1 user or any other combination
in between. See section 3.4 , below for more info.
The Administrator can register fingerprints for up to
four additional users. When registering users, the Ad-
ministrator can opt to give them Read Only privileges,
Read/Write privileges, or Administration privileges.
Read Only privileges allow a user to read data stored
on the drive but not to write new data to the drive. This
user cannot modify data or remove files.
Read/Write privileges allow a user to both read data
stored on the drive as well as write new data to it.
Administration privileges allow a user complete
control over who else can use the drive and what data
access rights they have. For more on Administrative
privileges, see chapter 6.2. Using the Drive as an Ad-
ministrator .
3.3. About Authorized Users And Rights
The LaCie d2 SAFE drive can save up to 10 fin-
gerprints. The first user registered on the drive is an ad-
mnistrator by default. This user must register two finger-
prints. After the setup process, one of these fingerprints
can be removed, allowing nine other users to register
one fingerprint each.
LaCie highly recommends that each user register
two fingerprints in case one finger is injured and must
be bandaged.
For more on registering users, see chapter 5. Setting
Up Your LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive .
