LaCie 2big Network 2 • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON User Manual Administering Your LaCie 2big Network 2 page 41 4.8. Dashboard: Groups This page allows the administrator to manage groups. Groups help to simplify users management and access to shares. They allow administrators to change access rights to entire groups rather than individually. From this page, administrators can: create, modify, delete, and add users to groups. TECHNICAL NOTE: Users can belong to multiple groups. TECHNICAL NOTE: If a discrepancy exists between the rights assigned to an individual and rights assigned to a group to which the individual belongs, the more permissible rights prevail. For example, if a user has access to a share called "Backup" and she belongs to a group that does not have this access, she will still have access to "Backup" (see chart at right). 4.8.1. Adding New Group To create a new group, click the green plus sign then fill in the group name and description (optional) (Fig. 50). 4.8.2. Editing a Group You can change the group name or description by clicking on the field and typing.
