Add user with admin permission to shares on ReadyNas 314

I have a ReadyNAS 314 withthe expansion unit and I would like to either change the existing user or create a new user with admin permissions so that they can remove files from the NAS.  As it is now there is a user account with only r/w and an admin account.  I would like the user account to be able to use their existing login to have the permission to delete or move files.

 

The unit is a ReadyNAS 314

Firmware: 6.6.1

 

Desktops: Windows 10 Professional

 

 

This is used in a non AD windows network with a few users who have access to the NAS.

 

 

Thanks

    Snapshot management is not the same as adding/changing/deleting files and folders in the shares.

     

    To delete a snapshot, you log into the admin UI, go to the share lisitng and select "recover".  Then you can right-click on one or more snapshots and delete them. This can only be done by the admin.

    Someone with R/W access to the share should be able to delete files already.
