Trouble Setting Up Non-Admin Remote Access on ReadyNAS
Hi all,
I’m running a ReadyNAS RN214 on the latest OS 6 firmware and I’m a bit confused about user accounts and remote access.
I’ve created several local user accounts and assigned each one its own shared folder with limited permissions. Everything works fine when accessing the NAS locally, but when I try to connect remotely, only the admin account is able to log in.
What I want is for each user to be able to access only their own share remotely, without using the admin account. I’m guessing I’m missing something in the permissions, services, or remote access settings.
What’s the recommended way to allow non-admin users to log in remotely while keeping things secure? Any best practices would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My personal; choice is ZeroTier.
