Creating a User in Unraid for Secure Access

Introduction

Unraid operates with a single root user by default, but creating separate users enhances security. This guide shows you how to create a new user.

Steps

1. Access User Management

  • Log in to Unraid Web GUI (http://your-unraid-ip).
  • Navigate to Users.
  • Click Add User.

2. Create a User

  • Enter a Username.
  • Provide a Description (optional).
  • Upload a Custom Image (optional, PNG format).
  • Set a Password and confirm it.
  • Click Done to finalize.

Conclusion

Creating separate users in Unraid enhances security and prevents unauthorized access. Ensure only trusted users have access and consider enabling 2FA if available. Happy Unraiding!
