===== Manage User Accounts =====
==== New User - Personal Folders ====
By creating a new user, the administrator will add a personal folder to the LaCie CloudBox. As opposed to the Family folder, personal folders can offer private access, requiring a username and password. Whenever a user accesses his personal folder on a PC or Mac in the home, he will be prompted for the username and password assigned by the administrator. \\ \\ 
To create a new user, click the **ADD USER** button, then fill out the required fields. Click the **green check mark** to add the user or the **x** to cancel. \\ {{:products:cb:screenshots:dashboard:users:dashboard_users_add_user.png?400|}}
  * A user name can have 1 to 20 characters using: letters, numbers, symbols, hyphen, and underscore. Do not begin or end with a hyphen or underscore.
  * The password can be 4 to 20 characters. All passwords are case-sensitive.
  * Enter an email address if you wish to include notifications. See [[dashboard07-network|Dashboard Network Settings]]

==== Existing User ====
User data is organized in a table:
  * Click on the text in the **Login** column to change the user name.
  * Click on the text in the **Password** column to change the user's password.
  * Click on the text in the **Email** column to change the user's email address.
==== Delete a User ====
To delete a user, click the grey **X** on the far right of the user's row. A pop-up window will ask for confirmation. By clicking **APPLY**, you will delete the user's share and all of his data.
<note>**Note:** The administrator does not have an **X** since the account cannot be deleted.</note>
