August 26, 20241 yr I have been working through setting up the server using 'root' and as soon as I access the WebUI I am logged in as root. As a Ubuntu user I am used to not working as a root user unless necessary therefore I made and set up a user in my name. However, to login as that user I first need to log out of the root user. The way to do this is not apparent in the WebUI. A search of the forums returned nil. Can I ask how to log out of ver. 6.12.11 please? I find that if I change the display to white I have a logout option in the top bar but that seems a long winded was of logging out. Edited August 26, 20241 yr by makem Adding a logout method
August 26, 20241 yr Community Expert Unraid does not support users in the way you are used to. It is normal for the webGUI to be run as user root.
August 26, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution Unraid provides for only one user with root privileges. In fact, root is denied access to the exported shares. I am assuming that you want to control access to your shares. You do that by setting Share Access users under USERS and than setting up the access modes and privileges for each share. It appears that, since you mentioned Linux, you are concerned about security. If you are using SMB, you should make sure that you turn off 'Public' read-write access for each share by using either 'Secure' or 'Private' as the primary mode. Then set which of your user(s) will have 'read-write', 'read-only' or 'No-access' for that share. If you are using NFS, I am not quite sure what you have to do. I seem to recall that you have to set things up on the client side as well as the Unraid side...
