In most instances, the administrator performs all management tasks for the LaCie CloudBox. See the table below for the access rights available to the administrator and users.
Create/Revise/Delete Users | Eco Management Settings | General Settings | Backup Jobs | Download Jobs (Torrents) | Drive Information (Format Disk) | Support | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Administrator | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes; Family and personal folders only. The administrator cannot back up other users' folders. | Yes. The administrator must turn this option on | Yes | Yes |
User | No | No | No | Yes; Family and personal folders only. | Yes. The administrator must turn the option on. | No | No |
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.
User data is organized in a table:
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.
The Family folder is a Public Share since it is available to everyone who uses the LaCie CloudBox in the home.
A user can change the password assigned by administrator.
