How to modify a user

To access the User Settings screen:

• Double-click the HP Media Vault icon on your desktop.
• Click Customize your HP Media Vault’s setting.
• If the Welcome Screen appears, click Configure Device.
• Click the User Settings tab.

To modify a user:

1. Select a username from the Select User Name drop-down list.
2. Click Modify Selected User.
   1. To change the username, highlight the name in the New Name box and enter the new name.
   2. To change the password, highlight the password in the Password box and enter the new password. All users must have a password.
   3. Re-enter the password in Confirm Password.

Each user you define must have a privilege level for every Shared Folder on your HP Media Vault. The media vault automatically assigns each user Full-Access for each existing Shared Folder and any new folders you create. Users keep their Full Access privileges until you change the User’s Default Privilege Level. You can also change access levels on specific Shared Folders.

To change the User’s Default Privilege Level

1. Select either Read-Only or No Access under User’s Default Privilege Level.
2. You can also change a user’s access (privilege) level on a specific Shared Folder. For example, you could keep a user’s default privilege level to full access on all Shared Folders except for one folder where you have saved financial or other personal data.
2. If you want to make privilege level changes on a specific Shared Folder, proceed to the next section. Otherwise, click Accept or Cancel. (If you click Cancel, your changes will not be accepted.)

To assign a different access (privilege) level for a user on a specific Shared Folder:

1. Select the Shared Folder from the Select Shared Folder drop-down list.
2. Select the privilege level from the Select Privilege Level drop-down list.
3. Click the Add button.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for changing the default access level for each Shared Folder on your media vault.
5. Click Accept or Cancel. (If you click Cancel, your changes will not be accepted.)
