Creating user accounts
Shared folders exposed by SynaMan are displayed to users through web browser. There is a many-to-many relationship between users and shared folders - meaning one user can have access to multiple folders and one folders can be access by more than one user.
When SynaMan is installed it automatically creates one user account called admin, which is a special account used for managing SynaMan. If you are using the Personal Version of SynaMan, this is the only account you are allowed to have. Although, the Personal Version will allow you to create additional users, logging in as a different user in a production environment is a licensing policy violation.
Creating additional accounts
Follow the steps below to create new users
- Log in using the admin account
- Click on Manager Users
