Setting up End-User Access Working with Groups 5 STEP 2 Click the username and then click Delete. To delete multiple users, use the following mouse-key combinations: • Shift-click: To select a contiguous group of users that you want to delete, hold down the Shift key, then click the first user, and then the last user in the series. Click Delete to delete the highlighted users. • Ctrl-click: To select a non-contiguous group of users that you want to delete, hold down the Ctrl key, and then click each user from the list. Click Delete to delete the highlighted users. The selected user(s) disappear from the list of available users. Working with Groups Groups are an easy way to manage users with the same storage needs and privileges. A group consists of one or more users. You can add or remove users from a group at any time. The user's primary group (the group to which quota charges for storage usage are applied) is set up in the Primary Group field of the user's profile. A group called "nasusers" is automatically created when you first install the NSS. This group is the default primary group when you create new users. To limit the entries in the Group list, perform a substring search by entering the desired search string in the Group List Filter field, and then clicking Filter. (For example, enter "ea" to display any list items that contain "ea" such as "Sean" or "BillyJean".) To clear the filter, delete the contents of the Group List Filter field, and then click Filter. Creating a Group Groups let you specify the share access privileges for a set of users. After you create a group, you can define the group's access privileges on a per-share basis. You can also add or remove users to and from the group at any time. Users are assigned a primary group within their user profile. When users create a file, the group ownership is automatically set to their primary group. The storage usage is charged to their primary group for the purposes of volume quota accounting. Group membership, other than the primary group, is defined in either the Add Group or Edit Group page and is used only to control access to shares and files.
