I map the entire volume , and when i make a folder inside it , the data doesn't appear on the volume from the internet browser using the admin page.

The system will let the administrator make ordinary folders inside the data volume. But those are not shares (which need to be created through the web ui, and also are not ordinary folders - they are btrfs subvolumes).

I have users that i want them to access data as read only , i made the network access for users and file access for them as read only but they can't login or access any share

Create local user accounts on the ReadyNAS. Those can match the PC user account/password if you like, or they can be different. If they are different, just enter the NAS credentials (username and optionally the password) into the PC's credential manager.

On permissions, I suggest keeping the file permissions as "everyone" read/write. Control access through the network access tab in the share settings.

You are browsing into the share from the share page?

Are you mapping the share to a drive letter, or are you mapping the entire data volume? If the latter, are you creating a new folder (or file) in the root of the volume? Or are you putting the files/folders inside the share?
