Creating a new user

The system creates the first (main) Disk user automatically when the service is set up. Its login details are sent to the service billing email.

You can add additional users to Disk with 100 GB capacity (3 total) and 1–3 TB (5 total). Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the customer administration ⧉.
2. In the top menu, select Server Services Disk.
3. From the services, select the disk to which you want to add a user.
4. In the left menu, select New Disk User.
5. Fill in the user details:
   • Login: User name identifier.
   • Path: Path to the user's root directory (default /, i.e. the Disk root directory).
   • Email recipient for the password.
6. Confirm the settings with the create user button.
