Hello, welcome to the WD Community. Only the admin user (the first user you created) has access to the dashboard to change and manage the configuration of the unit.
When you create a read-only share, you need to give permission to the users that you want to have access. Does the first user you created have access to this share?
Ok, so only the administrator can access the dashboard, that’s the normal way I guess.
(Maybe if I create more administrator users using ssh, maybe later)
About shares, I create one “testing”, then give full acces to one user, read-only to another, and none to another.
I’m using Windows Explorer to access the shared folders (I find them under the ‘network’ icon), when I select a Public folder I can see and red/write. But when I try to access a folder which is not public (requiring a password) then I get an error and can’t acces it.
The Error : ""xxxx folder is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect previous connections to the server or shared resources and try again."
Hi, It seems that you are connected to the drive unsing a different user. Try to disconnect all the mapped shares and rebooting the computer and try to access the shares then. Please take a look at this link for more information.
