Changing User Information

1. Modify the following information:

 Username — enter the username of the user to be created. This will be the username

provided when logging into the Iomega StorCenter px12-400r. There is a maximum of

32 characters, and spaces are not allowed. The following are not valid usernames:

root, daemon, bin, sys, sync, mail, proxy, www-data, backup, operator, sshd, postfix,

nobody, unuser, guest, and rsync.

 Descriptive Name — add a descriptive name to identify the user. For example, if you

created a user with a Username of jsmith, you may want to add the Descriptive Name

Joe Smith.

 Password — create a password for the user. The password should be between 8 and 12

characters, and spaces are not allowed.

 Confirm Password — confirm the password. If the text in this field does not match the

text in the Password field, an error will be returned.

 Send a Personal Cloud invitation — click this link to invite a user to join your Personal

Cloud on the px12-400r. This opens the Send a Personal Cloud Invitation dialog box

where you create an invitation by entering a user's email address along with any

additional comments. A user then receives the invitation, which contains the Personal

Cloud name and username and password. A user enters that information from Iomega

Storage Manager. For more information on this, refer to the online help with Iomega

Storage Manager. You see this option only if a Personal Cloud has been created on the

px12-400r.

 Allow this user to add trusted devices to my Personal Cloud — check this box to allow

a user to join a trusted device to a Personal Cloud. A trusted device is a machine,

either a computer or another px12-400r, that belongs to an added user. Only trusted

devices that belong to users that have been added to the px12-400r can join the

Iomega Personal Cloud. You see this option only if a Personal Cloud has been created

on the px12-400r.

 Quota Size — set a quota size by entering a value in gigabytes. To have no quota, leave

this field blank.

 Administrator — check this box if you would like to allow this user to manage the px12-

400r.

 Note: An administrator does not inherently have access to all Shares. Access to

Shares must be granted explicitly to administrators, as with other users.
