If you are running Windows Home Server, you can add users by using the Add User Wizard. The Add User Wizard is a part of the Windows Home Server Administration Tools. The Add User Wizard is a simple process that allows you to add users to your Windows Home Server. You will need to provide information about the user, such as their name, email address, and password. You will also need to provide information about the computer on which the user will be working. After you have completed the Add User Wizard, you will be able to add users to your Windows Home Server.
The Windows Home Server Console is where you will do most of your server management. Here you will want to click on User Accounts then select +Add.
In the Add User Account screen enter in your users name and logon name. You can determine here if you will allow them Remote Access to the server.
Next you get to play Administrator and choose what rights your new user will have to the shared folders. Read/Write means the user can view and make changes to the files. Read Only means the user can view the files and not make changes. No Access of course means files in this share will not be available. When you are done configuring the user settings click Finish.
Windows Home Server will now add the user and the rights you have configured for them. Click Done.
Now you will see your user as an icon in the Home Server Console. You can go back anytime and make appropriate changes.
