Create Groups
This procedure assumes that your ReadyNAS system is currently in Local Users mode.
For more information about changing user and group management modes, see User
and Group Management Modes on page 138.
Use the Admin Page to create groups.
To create a group:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select Accounts > Groups.
3. Click the New Group button.
4. Enter the following information for the new group:
•
Name. Group names can be a maximum of 31 characters in most non-Asian
languages. If you use Asian language characters, the limit is lower. You can use
most alphanumeric and punctuation characters for a group name.
•
GID. The GID is a unique group ID number assigned to each group. By default,
the ID number is automatically set, but you can manually enter a number if you
prefer.
5. Click the Create button.
The group is added to your system.
