Converting Local Users into External Users
If using an external SMB server for authentication, you may convert any local users into external users. This way, the
TeraStation will have a user list that matches the users in the external SMB server, and access restrictions for this
TeraStation's shared folders may be assigned to the converted "external" users.
Follow the steps below to convert a local user into an external user. If a local user is converted, their user information
(including passwords) will be removed from the TeraStation. External users cannot be reverted to local users.
Remarque: External authentication should be enabled before local users can be converted. For more
information on external authentication, refer to the "Authentification utilisateur via un serveur SMB externe"
section.
