Hello
The easiest way to do this is accessing the share with your admin user (creating a local user on your windows 7 machine) and logging on with that. From there you can right click on the folders you want to share and set everyone with read access or the specified users with read access. And for your own user, add that with all permissions (full rights).
What you can do (although be careful about this option) is to go to advanced options on the share and set yourself as owner. What I've done is creating an own group i've called Admins, which me and my wife are members of. Then you can set owner group as Admins, so any user you define in the Admins-group get the same access as you.
Hope this makes some sense :P
Edit: For reference, name your user on the NAS as the same as the one on your windows 7 machine, with the same password on both the machine and the NAS. This will simplify the mapping process as Windows sends your credentials and the NAS interepts those as the same as on the NAS, resulting in direct access.
