name can contain up to 127 characters, including letters, numbers, spaces,

Group settings
Primary group Primary local group to which the user belongs. The primary group determines
the quota for the user. This group's name can contain up to 16 alphanumeric
characters, spaces, periods, underscores, or hyphens. The rst character
must be a letter or a number. The name cannot contain consecutive spaces
or consecutive periods.
When les are counted against a group quota, they are counted against the
primary group of the user that owns the le at the time that the le is
created. If the user’s primary group membership changes, the les that the
user currently owns, as well as any les that the user might own in the future,
will continue to be counted against the primary group of which the user was
originally a member.
Alt+G
Additional groups (Optional) Comma-separated list of groups that determines Windows
permissions. If any group name includes a space, all of the group names must
be enclosed in quotation marks and separated by commas but not spaces (for
example: “Lab-Users,Lab,Local Users”).
A NAS cluster has a built-in local administrator account, which appears in the

permission on all CIFS shares by default. You cannot use the built-in
administrator account until you specify a password.
