To add users for access to Removable Storage

  1. Open Removable Storage.

  2. In the console tree, right-click the specific item you want to add user access to, and then click Properties.

  3. On the Security tab, click Add.

  4. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, in Enter the object name to select, type the name of the user or group, and click Check Names to verify the name against the user database. You can add users from a different domain by clicking Locations and choosing a domain from the list.

  5. Click the name of the user or group that you just added, and then do one of the following:

    • To change specific permissions, select or clear the Allow and Deny check boxes for each of the three levels of permissions: Use, Modify, and Control, as applicable.

    • To deny all permissions, click Remove.

Notes

  • To complete this procedure, you need the appropriate administrative credentials for the affected Removable Storage item. To maintain system security, rather than logging in as an administrator, log in as a user without administrative credentials, and run Removable Storage as an administrator by right-clicking the Computer Management icon, clicking Run As, and choosing an account in the local Administrators group.

  • To open Removable Storage, click Start and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management. In the console tree, double-click Storage and then click Removable Storage.

  • You can add user access to libraries, to media pools and their media, or to Removable Storage as a whole.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
