Account
47+
=======
48+
The account you connect with must have system monitoring permissions. The simplest
49+
option is to put it in the admin group; it doesn't necessarily
50+
need to be THE "administrator" account, but you can use some account in the
51+
administrators group.
52+
53+
Alternatively you can configure a normal account and enable Delegated Administration
54+
in control panel, and activate "System Monitoring."
55+
56+
Once the account is created, and/or you upgrade to a newer of like QTS 5,
57+
blso be sure to log into your NAS and complete any agreements, warnings, wizards, etc.
58+
that may prevent this library from using the QNAP API.

MFA/2FA must also be disabled for that user for this library to work.
