Permissions Issue
Hi, Yesterday I have copied a HD to a specific folder on my NAS using the backup function. While configuring the backup job, I failed to do it correctly and forgot to tick the "change ownership"...

You can reset the permissions on all the files of a share by:
1. Login to Admin UI of ReadyNAS (https://ip-address/admin)
2. Go to Shares\Share Listings
3. Click on the icon next to the share name you want to fix the permissions on
4. Go to the advanced options tab
5. Set the permissions as you want them to be.
6. Click the check box next to "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders in this share to the above settings. This option is useful in cases where you are changing security levels and need to workaround file access problems.".
7. Click apply in the bottom right corner of the screen and it will change the permissions for you.
