 Managing BlackArmor Volumes, Shares, and Storage
Working with Shares
Shares on the BlackArmor server can be either public (open to everyone, with some restrictions) 
or private (restricted to one user account only).
As a BlackArmor administrator, you can create, modify, or delete shares at any time, as required. 
However, when you delete a share, you lose all the files stored in that share. Use caution when 
deleting shares from your BlackArmor server.
Private Shares 
A private share is associated with one user account, and only BlackArmor users with permission 
can access that share. Private shares are password protected. (As a BlackArmor administrator, 
you can turn a private share into a public share by modifying the share’s settings in BlackArmor 
Manager.)
You can limit share access by:
Granting access to specified BlackArmor users only.
Limiting some BlackArmor users to read-only access. Read-only access means that a 
BlackArmor user can view files on the share, but can’t edit those files or upload files to the 
share.
Granting any BlackArmor user full access to the share, which allows the user to save and 
back up files to the share, edit files on the share, and download any files from the share to 
a computer or to a USB drive connected to the server (see page 50).
The owner of the share can also grant other people access to some or all of the files on the share 
by using Global Access. See page 25.
Note: 
To map more than one private share at a time, each private share must have the same log on 
credentials.
Private shares are created as part of a BlackArmor user’s account. To create a private share, 
open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). User accounts are in the Access menu. 
To modify a share’s permission settings, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). Share per-
missions are in the Access menu. 
For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help.
Public Shares
Public shares are not restricted, and BlackArmor users can map as many public shares as they 
need to.
To create a public share, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). Shares are in the Storage 
menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help.
