I think I have this correct in my head, but a 'yes you are correct / no you are mad' answer from someone would be appreciated.

 

My intention is to use my unRaid box in a 'shared' environment where work colleagues are on the same 192.168.x.y subnet. With the the free/basic unRaid there can be no real authentication, and everyone will have read/ write access to everything on the box, once they know / guess the IP (or browse and see the server) (correct?)

 

If I move up to either of the paid models, I will be able to assign, via the unRaid webGUI, a user name and password to each share (by means of creating users?) so that only those people that I give the username and password to will be able to connect. I can create multiple shares with differing credentials, in order that I can share 'office documents' but leave private 'last summers holiday' (correct?)

 

I'm fairly sure I have this right, but want to be sure before I go down a blind alley!

 

Thanks in advance.

 

(I did post this in 'security' but no takers as that area seems to be fairly low traffic)

Not exactly. You are able to register users with user passwords. Then you can designate for each share which users can write to the share, and which users can read from the share.
