How to Create User Groups on a My Cloud

A Group allows easier management of multiple users on a My Cloud.

• Create users on the My Cloud before creating a Group.
• Check that user's shares have the correct permissions before being assigned to a Group.
• Adding a User to a Group does not change the User or Share permissions.
• Group to User association on a My Cloud do not change User and Share permissions.
• Users inside of the Group must have Share turned on.
• Cloud User membership in Groups is not supported in My Cloud OS 5.
