USB Share Permissions
The USB Shares icon on the Users tab allows you to set access control for the two 
USB ports on the back of the device. 
The types of access control that you can assign to a user or group include: 
Public Access 
Full Access 
 
Read Only 
 
Deny Access 
 
Not Assigned 
 
When there is a conflict in the access rights of the user and group, the device uses 
the following rules to handle the conflict: 
Deny Access will have the highest priority. 
Full Access + Read Only = Full Access. 
If access control is assigned to users or groups, the full access, read only, and no 
access icons appear on the Share Access page. You can move your mouse over the 
icon to view the user or group list
.

 icon next to that 
share.

4. In the Not Assigned Users list, select the users to whom you want to grant full 
access, read only permission, or no access to the share.
