Web Access refers to the device’s Remote Web program. At least one account must have access to Remote Web, so you cannot disable it for all accounts.

The first account (the admin account) has web access enabled. Additional accounts have web access disabled by default. If you are creating NAS share users, we recommend leaving web access disabled. Click the Web Access Disabled button followed by clicking the Click to ENABLE web access box to confirm the account’s web access.

To edit the permissions for a user with web access, click the Edit Permissions button.

Click this button to change the password for an account.

To delete an account, click Delete Account. You will be asked to confirm the deletion. Because there must be at least one account on the device, you cannot delete the last account.

To edit the permissions for a user with access to remote web, click the Edit Permissions button.
