How do I setup security in my shares

I recently received my ReadyNas 102 and have just finished configuring it via Raidar since I wanted to use both of my drives as independent volumes and I must confess it was easier than I thought it ...

It could be that your web browser has cached an old version of the web admin interface.

Emptying your web browser's cache, closing your web browser and reopening the web admin page may help.

PS-Forgot to add that all my computers are running windows 10, windows 7 and some dualboot to Linux. I also upodated the Readynas OS to 6.4.2 .

Brian, I have been checking all the information about Disk Quotas on the ReadyNas but in my case when I go to a share folder, click on settings, then go into properties, there is no quota option. Actually it doesn't mention anything about quotas.

I'm running OS version 6.4.2 on my ReadyNas and it seems that this version does not contain the Quota option.

Can you please confirm?

Thanks

    Thank you for the input, I had to reboot my machine a few minutes ago since I'm still having problems trying to figure out how to set folder permissions, I accessed the admin page of the NAS via chrome but instead of typing the IP, as I normally would, I typed the name of the NAS and suddenly I had a different administration layout. When I checked the Shares option everything was different and now I have the add quotas.
    
    When I access the Admin console by typing the IP address I get the old layout and when I check the shares there is no option for quota. So it seems that I have 2 different console interface.
    
    This is the share administration page that I get when I access the NAS by typing the name of the unit in chrome, here I have the option to add quotas:
