Importing users
Before importing users to the NAS, make sure you have backed up the original users' settings
by exporting the users. Follow these steps to import users to the NAS:
1. Go to "Control Panel" > "Privilege Settings" > "Users".
2. Click "Create" > "Import/Export Users".
3. Select "Import user and user group settings". Select the option "Overwrite duplicate
users" to overwrite existing users on the NAS. Click "Browse", select the file (*.txt, *.csv,
*.bin) which contains the users' information and click "Next" to import the users.
4. Click "Finish" after the users have been created.
5. The imported user accounts will be displayed.
Note:
 The password rules (if applicable) will not be applied when importing users.
 The quota settings can be only exported when the quota function is enabled in
"Privilege Settings" > "Quota".
The NAS supports importing user accounts from TXT, CSV or BIN files. To create a list of user
accounts with these file types, follow these steps:
TXT
1. Open a new file with a text editor.
2. Enter a user's information in the following order and separate them by ",": Username,
Password, Quota (MB), Group Name
3. Go to the next line and repeat the previous step to create another user account. Each line
indicates one user's information.
4. Save the file with UTF-8 encoding if it contains double-byte characters.
Note that if the quota is left empty, the user will have no limit in using the disk space of the
NAS.
CSV (Excel)
1. Open a new file with Excel.
2. Enter a user's information in the same row in the following order:
o Column A: Username
o Column B: Password
o Column C: Quota (MB)
o Column D: Group name
3. Go to the next row and repeat the previous step to create another user account. Each
row indicates one user's information. Save it as a CSV file.
