Adding a user account

  • Article

On the User Accounts tab on the console, click Add to start the Add User Account wizard. The wizard collects all of the information that is necessary to create a new user account, and then it does the following:

  • Adds the new user account.

  • Sets user account access to shared folders.

  • Creates a personal shared folder on Windows Home Server.

  • Configures Remote Access for the user account, if Remote Access was enabled.

A personal shared folder is created to store personal files for each user account that is added. By default, only that user account can access the files in the personal shared folder. You can change the settings for accessing shared folders in the Shared Folders tab.
