Hello,

 

I would like to have one or two disks that use password protection, and then the rest of the drives stay open to anyone on network

 

Is this possible?

 

thanks!

No, not directly.  Something similar could be set up by using the User Shares feature.

The user shares allow you to specify which disks are used or not used for each share, so you can quite easily set up shares with different access.  However, there is no need (from unRAID's perspective) to associate shares with specific drives - users can only see "their" files even if you to not impose any disk specific assignments.

The answer is 'kind of'.  Here's how I would do it:

 

Enable User Level Security.  Add two users named 'admin' (with a password) and 'guest' (with no password).  Create a share called 'Private' (or whatever you want) and another called 'Public' (or whatever you want).

 

For the Private share:

- Set the private share to include 'disk1, disk2' and exclude all others.

- For valid users enter 'admin'

- For invalid users enter 'guest'

 

For the Public share:

- Set the public share to include 'disk3, disk4' etc. and exclude 'disk1, disk2'.

 

The above settings will ensure that only admin can access the private share.  Any guests will be able to see the share, but if they try to open it they will get an access denied error.

 

To take this even further, you could set the SMB export setting of the Private share to 'export read/write hidden'.  That way guests won't even see the private share, but you would always have to browse to it manually as it wouldn't show up for admin either.

 

Finally, you'll need to disable disk shares as they never have any password security.  You may always want to add a password to the default 'root' user so that guests can't access the unRAID web gui and change these settings.
