Managing Shares
Shares enable you to organize the information stored on a volume. The administrator has 
access to that information and sets permissions for other users and groups. For example, for 
generic policies and forms, like blank expense reports, everyone should be able to access 
them. For sensitive data, like financial information, only the finance group and specified 
personnel should be granted access to it.
The Shares screen provides share service options for the ReadyNAS device, which includes 
share management (including data and print shares), volume management, and share 
service management.
Adding Shares
To add a share:
1. 
From the main menu, select Shares > Add Shares
If more than one volume is configured, click the volume where you want to add the share.
2. 
Enter the share name and description. 
Once you finish adding the shares, they will be accessible from different client operating 
systems, as described later in this chapter. 
Note:  
Enabling public access means anyone on the network without a 
user account on the ReadyNAS can access the share.
