Notes:
• Usernames can contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters. Hyphens, underscores, and periods may be used. Do not
use a symbol as the first character of a name.
• User descriptions may contain up to 50 alpha-numeric characters (25 characters for 2-byte characters). Hyphens and
underscores may also be used. Do not use a number or symbol as the first character of a user description.
• You may register up to 300 local users with the TeraStation.
• Passwords can contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters. Hyphens, underscores, commas, semi-colons, periods, @, !, #,
$, %, &, ' , (, ), *, +, /, <, >, =, ?, [, ], ^, {, }, |, and ~ (tildes) may be used. Do not use any symbol except the underscore as the
first letter of a password.
• Set the TeraStation's username and password the same as the user's username and password for logging into the
Windows network. If they are different, the user may not be able to access shared folders with access restrictions.
• Repetitive deletions and additions of users may cause the quota feature to not work properly. Even though the data
is copied by the backup function of the TeraStation, the Quota feature may not work properly if a user ID/group ID is
duplicated. In such a case, use a user name/group name of an unused user ID or group ID.
• To assign quotas for users, check [Enable] for User Quota and enter a limit in GB.
• If the user ID is left blank, a user ID will be automatically assigned. When using the Quota feature, use numbers between
1000 and 1999 to set a group ID manually. Make sure that user ID are unique.
