Cannot set ReadyCloud user permissions on ReadyNAS 6.10.6
Hi all, I have recently spent hours attempting to set desired permissions for my ReadyCloud account on my NAS without success. I am able to create local users/groups successfully and assign read-...
I am using ReadyCLOUD, but I do not consider myself "an expert" on this. What I will say, it's very different to managing local users.
OK, let me share my experience, as I it may trigger some useful thoughts:
- Once ReadyCLOUD is enabled in the local dashboard, you then set up your ReadyCLOUD admin account through device discovery. It seems you have done this.
- Your ReadyCLOUD admin account is able to view/access/read/write all share folders on your ReadyNAS. As far as I can tell, you have no ability to manage the level of access available to your ReadyCLOUD admin account.
- For your ReadyCLOUD user accounts, you can manage their access fully, including hiding shares entirely via the 'Manage' tab on the ReadyCLOUD portal.
So my take is that with ReadyCLOUD enabled, you unfortunately always allow the admin account full access via the ReadyCLOUD web.
Hi, thanks for the details, been having the same issue..will be the trying your recommendations and will let you know if it works..hope it will
