USER MANUAL

Updating a User Password

When viewing details about a user, the Administrator can add or change the user’s 
password (no password is the default setting). 

Use the following steps to update a user password:

1.   On the Set Up Users screen, select a user from the list on the left.

2.   Click the toggle button 

 if no password has been previously created.

3.   Click Configure to the right of the toggle button 

 to display the Edit Password 

screen:

4.   Enter the new password in both the Password and Confirm Password fields.

5.   Click Save.

Assigning a User to a Group

Use the following steps to assign a user account to a user group:

1.   On the Set Up Users screen, select the user from the left pane.

2.   In the Group Membership field, click Configure.

3.   Select the check box next to the group you’d like the user to join and click Save.

Quota Rules

Assigning user quotas allows you to better control the disk space allocated to a user or a 
group. There are various rules dictating which quota takes precedent over another. 



User quota must be 

≤ the group quota (e.g., if your group has a 20 GB quota and 

you try to set the user quota to 30 GB quota, you will be prompted to reduce your 
user quota to be equal to or less then the group quota).



If the user quota is not set, the group quota is assigned to the user.



When a user quota is set prior to the user joining a group and a group is assigned:

-

If the user quota > group quota, the individual user‘s quota is automatically 
reduced to the group quota amount.

-

If the user quota is 

≤ group quota, the individual user quota remains unchanged.
