About Users

The Administrator, normally the device owner, is the person in charge of setting up the
device. As the WD My Cloud Mirror device owner, you have a special user account (admin)
that provides you with administrator privileges. With these privileges, you can set up and
configure the device to your specific needs and add other users to your personal cloud. You
also have the power to determine exactly what users can access on the device.

As a default, the administrator (admin) user name does not have a password. You can
create one at anytime (see “Updating a User Password” on page 47).

Note: Only one individual at a time can use the Administrator logon ID to log into

the web browser app. Because of this, ensure that you log out of the

WD My Cloud Mirror device web browser app when you’re not using it.
This allows other users authorized to use the Administrator logon ID to
access the web browser app.


See Energy Saver - Web Access Timeout on “Energy Saver” on page 109
to automatically log out of the app after a set amount of time.

The Users screen displays a list of the current users and allows the Administrator to view
user details, create new users, create groups, and grant a user access to existing shares
and groups.
