About Users
The Administrator, normally the device owner, is the person in charge of setting up the
device. As the My Cloud EX2 Ultra device owner, you have a special user account
(admin) that provides you with administrator privileges. With these privileges, you can set
up and configure the device to your specific needs and add other users to your private
cloud. You also have the power to determine exactly what users can access on the
device.
As a default, the administrator (admin) user name does not have a password. You can
create one at anytime (see “Updating a User Password” on page 24).
Note: Only one individual at a time can use the Administrator logon ID to log into the
web browser app. Because of this, ensure that you log out of the
My Cloud EX2 Ultra device web browser app when you’re not using it. This allows
other users authorized to use the Administrator logon ID to access the web
browser app.
See Energy Saver - Web Access Timeout on “Energy Saver” on page 83 to
automatically log out of the app after a set amount of time.
The Users screen displays a list of the current users and allows the Administrator to view
user details, create new users, create groups, and grant a user access to existing shares
and groups.
Viewing Users
1. On the navigation bar, click Users to display the Set Up Users screen.
2. To view user details, click a user name on the left pane. The user’s profile and share
access information display
. A user can have read only, read/write, or no access to a
share.
Note: The shares in the Share Access section are not editable because they are public
shares. Once you make a share private, the share displays in the list and you can
edit it. (See “Making a Share Private” on page 30.)
Adding a Single User
The Administrator adds user accounts and sets the parameters of the shares that a user
can access. Use the following steps to add a single user account.
1. To add a user, click
in the lower left side of the screen.
2. Enter the User Name, First Name, Last Name and Email address (optional) of the
user you’d like to add in the applicable fields, and then click Next.
3. To assign a password, click the toggle button
to ON, enter a password, and then
confirm the user’s password. Click Next.
4. To assign a group to the new user, click the check box next to a group, and then click
Next.
