# Creating a User

| To create a user

1. At the computer, click Start, All Programs, HP Media Vault, and then Control Center.
2. On the Tools tab, click Customize HP Media Vault.
3. You are prompted for an administrator name and password if you set one up. For additional information, see Editing System Settings.
4. On the Users tab, click Create User.
5. Type the User Name.
6. If the user already has an account on a network computer, use the same user name and password for the HP Media Vault. Using consistent login information ensures users have immediate access to the Media Vault without having to log in to the network and then again to the Media Vault. If they are the same, their network login will automatically pass through to the Media Vault.
7. User names can only contain letters, numbers, or underscores. Spaces and other special characters are not permitted.
8. Type and confirm the Password.
9. The user uses this password whenever they access private shared folders or the Photo Webshare on the Media Vault.
10. Check Photo Webshare Manager to give the user the ability to manage webshare visitors and approve photos submitted by users.
11. If you do not check this box, the user can log on to Photo Webshare to:

- view photos or videos,
- save photos to their computer, or
- view slideshows of photo albums.

12. Additional options can be turned on for users that do not have the Photo Webshare Manager box checked. These options must be turned on from within Photo Webshare. For additional information, see To create or edit visitors.
13. Select the Folder Access level for each private shared folder.
14. User’s do not have access to new or existing folders by default.

- Full Access - The user can open, change, and create files and sub-folders.
- Read Only - The user can open files or folders but they cannot create, rename, or change them.
- None - The user cannot see the shared folder or access it in any way.

15. Click Save.
