9. Introduction to the NAS server

9.1. Difference between administrator and user

In addition to all useable functions such as file sharing, the NAS server also
has administration functions that should only be used by one or two people
– the administrators.
Anybody else who accesses the NAS server is called a user.
9.1.1. Administrators
Administrators have full access to all functions and settings of the NAS server
and its stored files.
Administrators can perform the following tasks:
• Change all server settings
• Create and edit user accounts and group accounts
• Set up and edit folders (or shares)
• Update the server firmware
• Reset the server name and password to the standard settings
9.1.2. Users
All users, including the administrators, can use the following functions:
• Change their log-in password
• Save and share files on the NAS server
• Back up files on the NAS server
• Access the server via the Internet
• Download large files from the Internet directly to the server
• Access music, videos and photos (if the NAS server is set up as a media
server)
• Provide a USB printer connected to the NAS server to other users
PLEASE NOTE!
The administrator can also create user accounts with administra-
tor rights. You will find further information under "22.1. Users" on
page 306.
