Hi Chainsawdave-1,
Welcome to the community!
Try to executing this command 'net use * /delete' (without the prime symbol) in Command prompt in those PCs where you're experiencing permission problems.
Look at this thread for more information.
Kind regards,

Do you have multiple user accounts on the NAS? It is likely that some of the files or folders have different owners, which does affect what other users can do.
Have you tried resetting the owner/group from the "advanced" tab for the share?
Also, is this happening in one of the built-in shares, or one that you created yourself?

Hi StephanB
Thanks for your response. All of the folders are ones I created. I did try changing the permissions by they just reset. I have also tried turn it off turn it on again. This sometimes helps.
It's hard for me to test any other ideas as the damm things is working perfectly at the moment. I hate intermittant faults.
