RNDU4000 Adding and editing a share
When creating a new share you get an option if it should be public or not. 1/ Where do I find that setting after share is created , if I want to change it ?

Go to the shares page, and click on the setting wheel for one share. There will be a popup that includes the two tabs I listed above.
You can make a PNG screenshot (select the window, do alt-print screen, paste it into paint an crop as desired). If you see a photos control in the rich text toolbar, you can post them that way. Otherwise, attach them using "choose file'

Sorry, I mistakenly gave you OS-6 instructions.
On your NAS, select the icon in the CIFS column for one share. There are access rights there (both the top section, and scrolling down to the "advanced cifs" permissions)- you'd need two screen shots for those. If the Macs are using AFP, you'll also need to look on the AFP tab. I don't use AFP, so I can't give guidance there.
There are some additional settings at the beginning of the "advanced options" tab ("advanced share permissions" section).
