Users and Groups
If the appliance is attached to an existing network that has PDC or NIS
authentication, use the existing network authentication. However, to add user or
group permissions specifically to the data on the NewsShare NAS file systems,
or if the appliance is not attached to an existing network that has authentication,
add and maintain users and groups through the commands described in this
chapter. Creating users or groups for the appliance is optional. All members of
a group have the same access and permissions to read, write, and view files.
To add users and groups through the appliance, use the following procedure,
described in more detail in this chapter:
1. Create a group or groups.
2. Create a user name and password for each user.
3. While adding a user, assign the user to a primary group and, optionally, a
secondary group.
This chapter also describes how to:
• Change a user
• Delete a user
• Delete a group
• View existing users and groups on the network. This is especially useful
when adding new users or groups. If a name is already taken, the Add
command fails. In that case, check the existing users and groups for an
unused name.
