Hi I have a ReadyNAS Pro 2 (RNDP2000). Is it possible to change the file file system permissions of a folder via the web interface?
I'm using a Windows PC to access a share which I currently have read/write access to, but when I try to create/edit a file in a particular subfolder it gives an access denied error.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Go into the share settings, and then click on the CIFS icon. There will be an "advanced options" tab on the upper right - click that.
Enter the user/group you want to own the files (nobody/nogroup works), and then set the file and folder permissions as desired.
Right under that pane there are two checkboxes:
- Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders in this share to the above settings...
- Grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner of files.
Make sure both are checked, and then click on "apply" on the bottom right. The permissions are reset in the background, there will be a popup when it completes. It should also be logged.
