File Acces/ network access rights and current access denied of added users through the app
Hello, I have been struggling for the last couple of days with having a safe, limited accessed system but still providing access rights to the added users. Currently I have added 2 cloudusers. In...
Hello,
Everyone means everyone who has access to the device. However, it must be noted that the ReadyNAS will always apply the most restrictive setting set on either the File Access or the Network Access tab. Therefore I would suggest leaving the File Access Tab unchanged, (i.e. Folder Owner/Group: guest; Read/Write Access for Folder Owner/Group and Everyone). To restrict access I suggest to use the Network Access Tab. This will allow you to limit access to read-only for specific users.
Having said this, everything above only applies for local access as the settings you described were on the SMB-Tab. Therefore settings for Cloud users are greyed out. Cloud access configuration takes place on the readycloud.netgear.com website.
There you can limit access during the invitation process by selecting read access only. You can also change access settings later by clicking on a share and selecting “Share” in the context menu when logged in as the ReadyCLOUD Admin. On the following dialog you can select read-only for already invited users. Don’t forget to click on “Next” to apply changes. When the user logs on to the website read-only share will be indicated by a lock symbol
