Configure the desired group settings and click OK when finished.
Notes:
• Group names may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). Do
not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.
• Group descriptions may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces.
Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.
• If the group ID field is left blank, a group ID is automatically assigned. Use numbers between 1000 and 1999
to set a group ID manually. Don't use duplicate group IDs.
• You may register up to 300 groups with the TeraStation.
• If you are logged in as a member of the general users group, you can only change your own password. If
you're logged in as an administrator, you can change any settings, including other users' passwords. If you are
logged in as a member of the power users group, you can create and edit shared folders, users, and groups.

Access Restrictions

You may restrict access to specific shared folders, including external USB drives.
Notes:
• Access restrictions can be set separately for each shared folder, but not for folders within the shared folders.
• Configure access restrictions through Settings. Configuring access restrictions through Windows is not
supported and may cause unexpected behavior.
• Shared folders with limited access can still be used as backup destinations.
• If you change access restrictions for a user or group while they are accessing files, unexpected behavior may
result.
