Users and Groups
If NewsShare NAS is attached to an existing network that has PDC or NIS
authentication, use the existing network authentication. However, if you want
to add user or group permissions specifically to the data on the NewsShare NAS
file systems, or if NewsShare NAS 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 NewsShare NAS 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 NewsShare NAS, 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.
