Fixing permissions using SSH is not something we would support end users doing and if you encounter problems with that support may be unable to help. You can obviously compare with another NAS (if you have one configured and in a working condition) and if it works for you then good for you.
If you contact support and if required purchase support (if your unit is out of entitlement) then support can probably fix this in a way that the ownership is what it was before the problem (obviously this is not possible if you try doing your SSH changes you mentioned above).

Finally support "kinda" got it working.
Not entirely sure what was done but I'm able to use AD..
Caveat:
- Can't see any of the users & groups through the device's ui
- Can't set permissions through the device's ui (which was the case before). All permissions must be set on the network share.
This gets me going for now BUT don't like it.
