Modify a user account

You can modify a user account in Unraid if the user has forgotten their password, or if you need a more direct way of changing shared folder access, for example.

1. Navigate to Users > Shares Access (or Settings > Users > Shares Access), and select the name of the user account you want to modify.
2. (Optional) In the Edit User screen, modify any field that you want, except the User name. If you want to set a new Passwordfor this user, simply enter a new one and retype it in the Retype password.
3. (Optional) At the bottom of the screen Unraid displays a list of shares to which the user has been given access. You can change the User Access settings for any listed shares. However, you cannot add new ones.
4. Select Apply to save your changes.
