Multiple users sharing files
Greetings ReadyNAS experts! I have a RN516 with OS6.2.2 and I'd like to set it up to allow multiple users to access/edit/delete the same files. I've searched around the forum and the web in general...
I'm having similar issues with windows users on a NAS duo v2 using SMB, yet have a v1 which works as advertised.
The configuration on the v2 (which seemingly should allow collaborative file sharing\editing) restricts users to their own files even though a 'group' is set up. I've a thread here outlining the problem which seems to have stalled:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=81318&p=462462#p462462
To cut a long story short, the only way for my windows users have reliable 'collaborative' access (ie view\edit each other files on that share) is to delete their user accounts off the NAS, and have the share set to anonymous access. Not ideal in a business environment where I need to restrict access to some users yet have other users edit each others files.
Oddly, the NASduo v 1 which works as expected.
Any help sorting the v2 would be hugely appreciated :)
