User Account

The server pairs user accounts
on the server with those on a
computer to identify who is
connecting to the server and to
maintain security. Each server
user account has a unique user
name and password that should
match their computer log on
name and password. Each user
account on the server can have
their own shared folder access
levels.

1. From the Server menu

, select

Launch Home Server Console.

2. Select the User Accounts tab.

3. Click Add from the Windows Home

Server Console User Accounts tab.
Complete the information in the Add
User Account wizard.

Administrator
Account

Connecting as the server
administrator gives you access
to all shared folders on the
server. The administrator
account's user name is always
Administrator.

The server administrator account is
created the first time you install the client
software on a PC. You enter a password
during the installation. See

Installing

Software on the First PC

.

• If you created a User Account on the server, create a matching User Account on the Mac (if it does

not already exist). The Mac user account should have the same user name and password as the
server user account.
On the Mac computer, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts. On the Accounts

dialog, verify the dialog features are unlocked

and click "+" to add a user account. Complete

the information on the Accounts dialog.

during the first installation, select that name in the Shared category.
