Except for administrative accounts, management of user accounts applies to the local user database only. If you select an Active Directory, user accounts are pulled into the ReadyDATA from the Active Directory server.
For more information on the Active Directory mode, see the What global security access modes are used by my ReadyDATA storage system?
You can create up to 65,535 user accounts on the ReadyDATA.
To create a user account:
1. Select Security.
Make sure that the Users button is highlighted (it should be by default; if it is not, click the Users button). The Security screen displays. If you have not yet created any users accounts, none are shown, that is, no default user accounts exist.
