Update the local group's name, or delete the group from the Shares application.

Add members to the local group by selecting local users from the drop-down list. Note that you will only see local users who have been added to Shares (e.g. the Shares admin or other users that you have set up through the Shares UI).

After adding a member to your local group, you may click the Edit link to modify the user's settings or Remove to delete them from the group (but not from the Shares application).

When you click a user's Edit link, you will be taken to the individual user's configuration page. Please refer to the topic Configuring Local Users for details on modifying a local user's settings.

This tab allows you to configure specific security settings for all members of the group, including whether or not all members of the group can log into Shares, as well as if all the groups are administrators.

• If you select (checkmark) Login, then all users in this group can log into Shares. If left unchecked, you may give individual users access to log in.
• If you select (checkmark) Admin, then all users in this group have Administrative permissions. If left unchecked, you may give individual users administrative access.

To configure users' security settings from their individual account pages, please refer to the topic Configuring Local Users for details.

Click the Add Share link to authorize specific shares for the members of this group to access.

Upon doing so, you will be provided a list of nodes and shares that are currently configured in your Shares application, along with an Authorize link.

After authorizing a share, you can modify the group's permissions for browsing, transferring and performing file operations within it. Note that the default permission is browse only. To edit these permissions or de-authorize the group's access to the share, click the edit link.

From here, select (checkmark) permissions that group members have for the authorized share. For example, the video editors in our office example are allowed to browse, download and upload video content; however, they cannot perform any file operations within the share. After modifying your settings, click the Update button. You may de-authorize access to this share by clicking Delete.

Implement transfer settings/restrictions specifically for members of this group. In doing so, you will be overriding Share's app-wide transfer settings just for this group. To configure transfer settings just for this group, start by clicking the Override these settings button (which will enable the input boxes).

Now, you can configure your own transfer settings for this group.

Transfer settings include the following:

• Upload target rate: For example, 1.5 Gbps, 500Mbps, 10 K, 3000. Leave blank to use the node's settings.
• Upload target rate cap: For example, 1.5 Gbps, 500Mbps, 10 K, 3000. Leave blank to use the node's settings.
• Download target rate: For example, 1.5 Gbps, 500Mbps, 10 K, 3000. Leave blank to use the node's settings.
• Download target rate cap: For example, 1.5 Gbps, 500Mbps, 10 K, 3000. Leave blank to use the node's settings.
• Starting policy: Select the policy that will be enforced when the transfer starts, where policies include fixed, high, fair and low. You can also select Inherit from node to use the node's settings. If fixed, the transfer will utilize a fixed rate policy. Under this policy, the transfer will transmit data at a rate equal to the target rate (although this may impact the performance of other traffic present on the network). If fair, the transfer will utilize a fair rate policy. Under this policy, the transfer will attempt to transmit data at a rate equal to the target rate. If network conditions do not permit that to be achieved, it will transfer at a rate lower than the target rate, but not less than the minimum rate.
• Allowed policy: Select the policies that are available to the user during the transfer. You can also select Inherit from node to use the node's settings. For example, if the starting policy is fair, then you may allow them to change between fair and low by selecting the fair and low option from the drop-down list.
• Encryption: Select from optional or AES-128. You can also select Inherit from node to use the node's settings.
• Encryption at rest: Required or optional. You can also select Inherit from node to use the node's settings. If required, uploaded files must be encrypted during a transfer for the purpose of protecting them while stored on a remote server. The uploader sets a password before uploading the file, and then the downloader is required to enter that same password to decrypt the protected file.

Click the Save button to keep your new settings. You may also click the Use Inherited Settings button to return to the app-wide transfer configuration.
