5.6.3 Creating a new account
How to create a new account is described in the "Users" section of the
"Configuration options explained" chapter.
When you create an account, a folder with the same name is automatically
created. Only the user with that name can access that folder. You can give others
rights to these folders by
• Adding users to the folders in the folder dialog
• Creating groups with rights to these folders and adding several users to these
groups.
You cannot create accounts with the same login name. You can create as many
accounts as you like, but remember the storage capacity of the FSG-3 will
eventually run out.
5.6.4 Creating a new group
If you have a large amount of folders and users, and some folders should be
accessible to some users but not to others, it can be easy to group the users who
have access to a certain folder. You will only have to add or remove a user once
from a group to give or remove access rights to all the folders the group has
access to for that user.
How to create a new group is described in the "User Groups" section of the
"Configuration options explained" chapter.
5.6.5 Creating a new folder
Even though all users get their own private folder, you may want to create other
folders shared by more then one user.
How to create a new folder is described in the "Folders" section of the
"Configuration options explained" chapter.
Once you have created a folder, you can add users or groups to that folder to give
users access rights.
5.7 Setting up multiple connection methods
The default setup of the FSG-3 only allows windows file sharing (SMB) and HTML
access through a LAN port. In the case you want to have more services available
(such as FTP), or when you connect the FSG-3 to an existing router, or even to the
internet, you will need to configure the services to be available. Remember, each
service you turn on or open to the outside is a potential security risk. We are not
aware of any security threats at the moment, but we cannot predict what will
be found in the future. You should only turn on services or open them to the
outside when you really need them.
