NAS 516 Permission Problem
OS 6.7.4
Permissions are all messed up. We were using Egnyte and have stopped synching with them. Users can't access folders and files. When I view the top folder security permissions under "data" with a Windows 7 laptop, I can see users who don't exist on the NAS as owners of the folders. I want all users to have "Everyone" access to all folders and files. How can I change permissions to rid of the old owners and have "Everyone" permissions? Although I can see the permissions, I receive an error that I don't have privileges to access or make changes and to check with my administrator. I'm not sure where to turn and can use any advice available. Thank you in advance.
PS I would really like to see Netgear add a "view" into the permissions on shares, like on a PC.
