About managing local users and groups

When Access Appliance is operating in the standalone mode, only the local users and groups of users can establish CIFS connections and access the home directories and ordinary shares. The Access Appliance local files store the information about these user and group accounts. Local procedures authenticate and authorize these users and groups based on the use of names and passwords. You can manage the local users and groups as described in the rest of this topic.

Accounts for local users can be created, deleted, and information about them can be displayed using the CIFS> local user commands.
