upgraded and has only one volume.
If the

options display, select:

Changing Access Permissions
1. Expand
Access Permissions
to change user permissions on an iSCSI drive. When an iSCSI drive is first created, the user Everyone has read and write
access to that iSCSI drive by default, which means that everyone on your network can read, write, and delete files to and from that iSCSI drive.
2. To limit access to this iSCSI drive to a specific set of users, click the
and choose one or more users from the pop-up window.
3. In the
Access Permissions
section, check Read, Write, or both to set access to the iSCSI drive for each user. When you have created groups, you can
also set access for them in this way. To remove a user, leave both Read and Write unchecked for that user. If you grant read and write permissions to
Everyone, the list of users is also cleared because all users (Everyone) have access to this iSCSI drive.
4. Click
Apply
to save your changes.
