FRITZ!Box Users
With the FRITZ!Box user administration you can control access to settings and information on your FRITZ!Box from the home network and the Internet.
For each individual FRITZ!Box user you can define which FRITZ!Box settings and information can be accessed in the home network or from the Internet. The FRITZ!Box users can then log in with their individual ID - consisting of a user name and e-mail address - to use the areas and services of the FRITZ!Box to which they have access.
FRITZ!Box users must be created if users are allowed to access the FRITZ!Box from the Internet.
This page presents an overview of all FRITZ!Box users. Existing users can be edited or deleted, and new users can be configured.

| Edit |  | The user account with its settings for a FRITZ!Box user are accessed by clicking the "Edit" button. |

User "ftpuser"
The user "ftpuser" is already preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box user overview.
This user account ensures smooth access to FRITZ!NAS over SAMBA and FTP. The "ftpuser" authentication is required for access to FRITZ!NAS via Windows file sharing or an FTP client. Therefore it is important not to delete or rename the "ftpuser" account.
