3.2. Being An Administrator
ImpOrTANT INfO: e first person to
use the drive becomes the Administrator by
default. However, any user can be given Ad-
ministrative privileges.
ImpOrTANT INfO: You can register more
fingerprints per user as long as you don’t ex-
ceed a maximum of 10 fingerprints total for
all users. So, for example, you could register
2 fingerprints each for 5 users (including the
Administrator) or 10 fingerprints for 1 user
or any other combination in between.
e Administrator can register fingerprints for
up to four additional users. When registering users,
the Administrator can opt to give them Read Only
privileges, Read/Write privileges, or Administra-
tion privileges.
Read Only privileges allow a user to read data
stored on the drive but not to write new data to
the drive. is user cannot modify data or remove
files.
Read/Write privileges allow a user to both read
data stored on the drive as well as write new data
to it.
Administration privileges allow a user com-
plete control over who else can use the drive and
what data access rights they have. For more on Ad-
ministration privileges, see section 6.2. Using the
Drive as an Administrator.
