The specified shares are created. Anyone on a Mac or Windows computer who has the share’s password can read, write, and create files on the share.
Manage Share Access
Use FrontView’s Share Listing screen, which is shown in the following figure, to choose who can access your shares.
Figure 4. Share Listing screen
After you create a share, it is available to some users by default. If you use the user or domain security mode, it is available to all Windows and Mac users who have an account on your ReadyNAS system. If you use the share security mode, the share is available to anyone with the share’s password.
To make a share available to others users, determine what type of devices they are likely to use to access the share, and then make the share available over the appropriate file-sharing protocol or protocols.

A share can have different access rights for each file-sharing protocol that is enabled for it. To change the access rights for a share, click the icon that is under the file-sharing protocol that you want to use to share it. When you specify what type of access to give users, you have three choices:
•
No access. A user cannot read, edit, or create files on the share.
•
Read-only access. A user can only read files, and cannot edit or create files.
•
Read/write access. A user can read, edit, and create files.

Select Who Can Access a Share Using CIFS with the User Mode
If users access your share with CIFS, you have these choices for security:
•
If your ReadyNAS system is on a small local network and you can trust everyone on the network, you can let anyone on the network access the share.
•
If you need more security, you can specify that only users with accounts on your
ReadyNAS server can access the share, and give them all the same level of access.
•
If you need more flexibility, you can specify which users can access the share, and what type of access each can have.
•
For the most security, you can specify that a user must be at a specific computer to access the share. If that computer is in a locked room, users must know the correct user name and password and they need a key to the room.
To specify a computer, you use its IP address, for example, 10.1.10.104.
To let anyone access your share using CIFS:
1.
From the FrontView main menu, select Shares > Share Listing.
