Login Profile

A Login Profile defines how users authenticate and access shared files and folders in NirvaShare. It is used to control access by configuring an authentication method and security settings for a share. Before creating a share, you must create a Login Profile and associate it with the share. When users access the share link, they are authenticated using the configured Login Profile before they can access the shared content.

NirvaShare supports multiple authentication methods to provide secure and flexible access to shared content.

  • Log in to the NirvaShare Admin Console as an administrator.
