Please take this poll.
Q: How familiar are you with adding multiple users with import users list file, and/or import groups list to manage things like users (user name), passwords, quotas, shares (read-write), shares (read-only), shares (access denied). Also similarly, how familiar are you with adding groups and managing them with the import groups list file.
Familiarity scale from 1 to 5:
1- I am not familiar with import users list text file at all, and never would use it;
2- I messed with it once and couldn’t get it to work so I gave up on it.
3- I got it to work somewhat but couldn’t get it to manage the shares, so I gave up on it.
4- I am pretty familiar with it and got it to work, but I rarely use it, so I kinda forgot how to use it.
5- I am very familiar with it, and it’s very useful in helping us manage and set up users and shares with their permissions.
So whatever you answer, please explain your situation.
Thanks for taking the poll.
I started a related topic placed under various devices, under the OS 5 NAS, and under the Home which basically explains that I am not getting it to work, and I wish there was someone here who had success with it. I hope this reaches the most people, because perhaps Home users are more prevalent, and NAS users in work environments keep their secrets to themselves, or they don’t have time to share here in this community, I imagine, because I have not gotten much response with my issues in this WD Community, and have only been directed to place my issues and questions to WD Support, which I had done months ago, and going by the voices I hear when I call WD Support, seems to be populated by team of technicians in some far-away city in South Asia, sorry for my generalization and assumptions, for they might all be located in Silicon Valley California or something like that. I have been in contact with WD Support through a case that I started back in April 26, and I get the impression that none of their dozen or so technicians knows how these import files work because they have never bothered to learn to use them. I have had emails back and forth with Vincent S, Steve Y, Sophie G, and Robert C, and others, they are all doing the best they can but it sounds like they never get anyone with these issues and so they know nothing about it. That’s why I am requesting anyone who reads this to take this quick survey and tell me honestly how much experience you have with using import files to manage the users, shares, and groups.
Thank you,
