Hi all, I need an advice to solve a problem. I have added a new user (user group) to a shared folder (only with SMB protocol). When I try to open this folder from windows with this user, I obtain a...
I misread your last indication, I tried the two things you told me separately and, in that way, it did not work.

it's correct.
I know that even authorizing "everyone" to access all the files isn't dangerous because I filter upstream the shares.

I'm not completely sure what the issue was in your case. Changing the file access in the web UI doesn't recursively apply those changes to all the files and subfolders in the share, so it's best done when the share is empty. There's also the question of file ownership.
If you want to delve into the details of the file attributes and the ACL that the NAS applies, you probably need to enable ssh, and take a deeper dive from the linux command line.
