   Table 1 Basic Windows user mapping parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Mapping Mode	Indicates the user mapping mode related to the operating system. Currently, only Windows to UNIX is supported. That is, when accessing UNIX shares using UNIX, a UNIX user has all the permissions granted to the target user.
   Source User	Indicates the source user in the mapping. NOTE: The name of the source user supports the wildcard (*). For example, user* indicates all user names starting with user. Mappings cannot be created for users in the Administrators group reserved by the system. If the source user is a user in the Administrators group, the created mapping is invalid. When you use the wildcard (*) to create a mapping, the mappings of users except those in the Administrators group take effect.
   Target User	Indicates the target user in the mapping.
   Priority	Indicates the priority of the mapping. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. When multiple mappings share the same source user, the system uses the mapping with the highest priority. [Value range] 1 to 32

5. Click Add to Mapping List to add the mapping to the list below.
