Creating a Group on a Buffalo LinkStation

1. Access Settings, the web user interface for the LinkStation. You can access Settings by either entering the LinkStation's IP address into a web browser window or by using NAS Navigator.
2. Click the Advanced Settings tile. You will be asked to log in with the "Admin" account to proceed.
   
3. On the "File Sharing" tab, click the widget to the right of "Groups".
   
4. The "Group List" box lists all groups. There are three default groups initially. To create a new group, click Add Group.
   
5. Give the group a name and a group ID. You can select group privileges from the dropdown menu. General users can only change their own password. Power users can create and edit shared folders, user, and groups. Administrators can change any settings including other users' passwords.
   
6. Setting an email address for group notifications and adding a group description are optional. From this screen you can also create a quota to limit the amount of storage space used by this group. Once all options are set as desired, click OK.
   
7. The new group should now be listed in the group list. The process is finished.
