The Administrator creates accounts for others who will have access to the My Book
Live drive. These accounts are referred to as users. Users have full access to their
own private shares and to public shares, and limited access to the shares of other
users.

Note: The Administrator, normally the owner, is the person in charge of setting up

computers on the network.

The Users option on the navigation panel lists current users and enables the
Administrator account to view user details, create new users, grant a user access to
existing shares, and create shares.
