# Manage access to volumes
***
## Manage access to a volume using the control panel
NFS only allows whitelisted servers and computers to connect. Therefore, you must first grant your servers access to the volume before it can be used.
To grant access to the NFS volume, click on the volume in the **File storage** overview. Under **Details**, click **Provide access to a server**.
Click on the servers that should have access to the volume. A checkmark will appear to the right of the selected servers. Once finished, click **Add Selected**.
### Changing access at a later time
To add or remove access for servers later on, click **Actions** and then **Manage access** for the current volume.
## Manage access to a volume using the API
Use the [filestorage/editvolume](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#filestorageeditvolume) endpoint with the optional argument **accesslist** to manage access to a volume. For general instructions on how to use the API, see [Platform → API](/platform/control-panel/api.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.glesys.com/products/storage/file-storage/how-tos/manage-access-to-volumes.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
