You need to create user accounts of the users who access the shared folder in advance. This section describes the procedures to create a new account in your computer.
note:
Even if you don't create a new account by following the procedures below, you can add a pre-registered account as the user who is permitted to access the shared folder. In such case, you need to create a password if it is not set to the pre-registered account. Once the password is created, the user is prompted to type it when he/she logs on to a computer.
