8.2.1.1 Account Names
Enter an account name from 1 to 14 characters. The first character must be alphabetical (case
insensitive, [A-Z a-z]); numeric characters are not allowed as the first character.
The account name can only contain the following characters:
• Alphanumeric A-z 0-9
• Spaces
• _ [underscores]
•. [periods]
• - [dashes]
Other limitations on account names are:
• All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.
• Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.
• Account names are case insensitive. The account name cannot be the same (regardless of
the letter case) as an existing local account or domain account. For example, if there exists
a domain account with the name 'BOB', you cannot create a local account named 'bob'. If
you enter an account 'bob' but use 'BOB' when connecting via CIFS or FTP, it will use the
account settings used for 'bob'.
• The account name cannot be the same as a system account name such as FTP or
EVERYONE nor be the same as an existing local or domain account. Other reserved user
names that are not allowed are:
•bin
•daemon
•ftp
• anonymous
• nobody
•root
• pc-guest
Group Membership Choose the groups to which you want to assign this account. You can

on the NSA. A group is a set of users that have common NSA access
rights. A user can belong to more than one group.
More restrictive access rights override less restrictive ones.
