    3. Add the user to a user group

    You can choose whether to add the new user to an existing user group. To create a user group, go to System Settings > User Management > User Groups > Add User Group.

    4. Set available volumes and quotas

    You can configure which volumes this user is allowed to access. To remove a volume that you do not want the user to access, click the × button. Administrators can access all volumes on the system.

    The storage quota for each volume is unlimited by default, but you can manually enter a value to set a limit.
