Managing CTERA Edge Filer Users

In order to enable users to access shared folders, you must define the users in the CTERA Edge Filer. You can:

• Grant the user access rights to network shares.
• Add a custom user group. The entire user group can then be granted access rights to network shares, and the access rights will apply to all members of the user group.
• Add the user to the built-in Read Only Administrators user group, which includes read-only access rights to view the settings in the CONFIGURATION tab.
• Add the user to the built-in Administrators user group, which includes read-write access rights to view and modify settings in the CONFIGURATION tab.

Note: Users and user groups are granted access rights to network shares during share configuration.
Users that are not members of the Administrators or Read Only Administrators user groups do not see the Configuration view.

To enable sharing files when the CTERA Edge Filer is a Caching Gateway, both CTERA Portal users and CTERA Edge Filer users must have matching names.

Viewing Users

To view existing users:

1. In the CONFIGURATION tab, select Users > Users in the navigation pane.
   The Users page opens, displaying all local users.
   
2. To display domain users, in the Local Users drop-down list, select Domain domain Users, where domain is the name of the domain.

All domain users are displayed.
