Adding a User ThawSpace

To create a ThawSpace for a particular user on the drive, complete the following steps:

1.	Click (+).

2.	Select the user that the ThawSpace will be created for.

3.	In the Size field, enter the size of the ThawSpace and use the drop-down list to choose if it is sized in MB or GB. The default size of the User ThawSpace is 500 MB.

4.	Click OK, or click Cancel to return to the tab without adding the ThawSpace.

5.	In the ThawSpace tab, click Apply to create the new ThawSpace. A dialog prompts for the administrative username and password.

 

A Global ThawSpace is accessible to all users. However, the user ThawSpace is accessible only to the particular user. When a user logs in, other users’ ThawSpaces will be displayed on the Desktop as a folder with restricted access.

It is not possible to remove an existing ThawSpace and retain its contents. Removing a ThawSpace that has a user mapped to it will prevent the user from logging in to the computer. It is recommended that the user be mapped to an alternate location before the ThawSpace is removed.
