ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Version 6.10.4
It looks like Netgear released new firmware. I don't see it yet when I check for updates on the devices itself but it's available for download: ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-4 ReadyNAS O...

Update:
When I create a new share and then click on the plus and try to assign some groups to the newly created share it failed ... nothing happened ... Can somebody reproduce that maybe as well?

What happens if you click on the share settings wheel, and make the changes there?

Hi Stephen,
thats working and seamed to solve the 2nd issue, so thanks for that. However we still struggle with various "you do not have rights" issues when deleting files or folders...
Whats also strange is that a user can create a new folder and get directly the error message "You need permissions to perform this action" bevore he can type in the name from the folder. However there is a so called "New Folder" created, but the users are unable to delete or rename the folder ... its also not possible to open the new folder and put files in it.
It looks like if old folders before the firmware update are not affected and are working. Moving a folder from a Windows PC to the NAS also caused the same affect. The folder then get right issues...

You need to make sure that both network access and file access permit access. If you are managing access at the share level (and not for individual files and subfolders), you can just set file access to allow everyone access (using network access alone to manage access).
You might try checking the "grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner" checkbox on the file access page of the share settings - ignoring the comment there about AFP and NFS.
If you make any changes to file access, you need to use the RESET control on the left to apply those changes to existing files and folders in the share.

Sorry Stephen for the late response. We had a small Covid-19 outbreak and where relocated to the home office which got some priority.
We have only one Share which holds the security surveillance camera movies
Only SMB is activated
I currently set the configuration as followed:
Network Access (SMB Tab) grants Read/Write to everyone
File Access grants Read/Write to everyone
Folder Owner / Folder Group is guest
Grant Rename and Delete is checked
Reset is performed
The user still get a "access denied" when they are creating a new empty folder.

Update:
I build a new share and started to move the files now... the new share semaed to be working. I have also updated now another ReadyNAS device to the latest firmware and got there as well the same issues ... rebuilding the share also solved the issue there. So something must have changed in the Firmware which caused these kind of issues ...
