Synology NAS User's Guide
Based on DSM 6.1
47 Chapter 9: Set Up File Sharing
Manage Users and Groups
Go to Control Panel > User or Group to create users or groups, and allow or deny their access to different
shared folders.
Create Users
Click Create to create a user account. The user can log in to edit his/her account info after the user account has
been established. You can also choose to set an account expiration date or disallow the user to change account
password.
Allow Self-service Password Reset
If you would not like to allow users to reset forgotten passwords via email, you can click Password Settings and
tick the box marked Disallow the user to change account password. When this option is enabled, a link
marked Forgot your password? will appear on the DSM login page. If a user forgets his password, he can click
this link and enter his username. In this case, the system will send a message to the user containing a link to
reset his forgotten password.
For detailed instructions and notes, please see DSM Help.
Apply Password Strength Rules
You can enable password strength service to make sure DSM users’ passwords are secure enough to withstand
malicious login attempts. Click Password Settings to configure this measure of the effectiveness of a password.
Note:
Password Strength rules only work for passwords created or modified after the Password Strength service is
enabled. Existing passwords won’t be affected by the rules.
The rules won’t apply to the passwords of users created by importing user list.
