User Groups

Creating user groups can help administrators manage user permissions more efficiently. Administrators can categorize users into custom user groups as needed. These user groups can have the same or different access permissions, but all users within the same user group have identical access permissions.

Creating User Groups

The TOS system includes the admin and allusers user groups by default upon initialization. These two system-preset user groups cannot be deleted. You can create other user groups as needed. When creating a user group, the following information is required:

• User Group Name: Enter the user group name.
• Description: Briefly describe the purpose of the user group (up to 255 characters).
• Add Users to Group: Select the usernames to be added to this group from the user list.
• Shared Folder Access Permissions: Set access permissions to shared folders for the user group.
• admin User Group: Administrator user group. All members belonging to the admin user group have administrator privileges.
• allusers User Group: All users belong to this group.

Naming Rules

1. User group names must not contain spaces or the following special characters: $ % & ' ( ) * + , / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ ` | ~ , but hyphens ( - ) and underscores ( _ ) are allowed.
2. User group name length must be between 1 and 64 characters.
3. User group names are prohibited from using system-reserved names such as: "root", "admin", "allusers".

Note

The user created during system initialization is the super administrator. This user is not only included in the admin user group but is also automatically added to every user group in the system.

Managing User Groups

• User Group Information: You can edit the basic information of the selected user group and adjust the members within the user group.
• Add/Remove: If you need to add or remove users from a user group, please follow the steps indicated on the page.
• Import/Export: Used for batch importing or exporting user information in user groups. It is recommended to first export the standard template from the TOS system or download the table template during import, and then fill in other user group information based on this template.
• Delete: Select the user group you want to delete and click Delete.

Note

1. Administrators can set individual permissions for users within a user group. When user permissions differ from user group permissions, the permission priority order is: Deny > Read/Write > Read Only.
2. When setting permissions for shared folders, please ensure careful consideration of which users or user groups need access and what level of access they require.
