No write access on backup-up of my shares
I have a Readynas NV+ which died suddenly, and probably permanently, this evening. May it rest in peace. The shares were configured with "share" security, which was fine when I bought and configured...
Right above the checkbox there are several settings that you enter:
If you want to insist on a password set everyone rights to disabled.
You can use the built-in admin account as the owner/group, or you can first create users/groups on the NAS.
With Windows you can only access the NAS using one user/pass at a time - which can be a nuisance.
-if box-access granularity will do, you can simply set up a single username/password.
-If you need share-level granularity, the easiest way is to set up a group for each share, and user account for each user. Then if you want the user to have access to the share, simply add them to the relevant groups. Then they only have one password that gets them into everything they are entitled to access.
