Setup Steps for Administrators

Your BlackArmor server comes with one administrator account only. Your next step is to use 
BlackArmor Manager to create individual user accounts. 

Part of creating user accounts is assigning each user access to the default shares or the new 
shares you create.

To create a user account:

1. In the menu bar, select Access, then click Users.

2. Click the Add icon. 

3. Customize the account as required:

User Name: Name user enters when logging in

Admin Rights: Sets the user as a BlackArmor administrator

Full Name: User’s name

Password and Confirm Password: Up to 15 alphanumeric characters that user enters 
when logging in

Group: Group of users to which this account belongs, if any

Create User Private Share: Whether or not BlackArmor Manager should create a new 
private share for this account

Volume: Which volume (if there is more than one) the private share should be created in

Services: Which type(s) of file service should be supported by the private share

4. Click Submit.

The new account appears in the list of user accounts.

You can make it faster and easier to manage access to shares by sorting users into user 
groups. User groups allow you to modify share access for individuals or entire groups from a 
single window. See page 36 for more information.
