The first step is to create "users" who will be accessing the file shares. For example, one user for the wife and one for each of the kids.

Actually accessing your shares is the last step.

* Click on the Users Tab

* At the bottom of the page click the "New User"

You can always edit a user by clicking on their row in the Users table.

* Click on the Shares Tab

* At the bottom of the page click "New Share"

** '''Share Name'' is the name that you will see to access the share

* Click the "Create" to create the share

* Click on the share you want to match with users (I will use the Docs share for this example)

* Visible defines if the share can be seen (without users having to manually enter its name)

* By default the share is accessible by all users - I want it to be accessible to just one user. I uncheck the "All Users" check box. Now I can see the access rules for each user on the HDA.

* Simply mark the "Access" column next to each user you want to be able to access the share

* Mark the "Write" column for those user you want to be able to save files in the share.

Your HDA shares files on your local network. Access to the shared files is through the share <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code>.

Note that you have to input <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code> in the file browser or other places where files are requested, not in the Internet browser. This is what you should see when using the default settings and there are two users in the system:
