104 Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 Groups Overview Groups consist of one or more users, and administrators can grant each group rights to Shares on the Iomega StorCenter ix2-200. Users can belong to more than one group. The Groups page enables administrators the ability to create one or more groups, and grant each group rights to Shares on the Iomega StorCenter ix2-200. To create a group, enable security first. Administrators can grant individual users access rights to Shares on the Iomega StorCenter ix2200. Refer to Managing Shares for more details. Refer to the Security page to enable security permissions and create an administrator account, if you have not done so already. By default, there are no groups defined. Once an administrator defines one or more groups, the Groups functionality is dynamically available when creating, modifying, and viewing users, Shares, and groups. To add users to the group, click Add users. How access rights are granted using groups in Workgroup mode When groups are defined in Workgroup mode, a user's access rights are the most rights granted to the user and all groups to which the user belongs. For example, assume 3 Shares exist (SF1, SF2, and SF3), two users (UserA and UserB), and three groups (Group1, Group2, Group3). When created, UserA was granted no rights to access any Share and UserB was granted Read rights to SF3. Group1 has Read/Write rights to SF1, Group2 has Read/Write rights to SF2, and Group3 has Read/Write rights to SF3. If UserA is added to Group1, UserB is added to Group2, and Group1 is added to Group3, the table below shows the resulting access rights for each user and group defined: Name UserA UserB Group1 Group2 Group3 How do I...
