Read Only and Read-Write

Hi All,

Just purchased a Readynas Ultra4 and trying to configure access control for my files and users. When I have my folders configured as "read only" and log in with the specific user, that user still has full control over that directory and sub-directories. How does this work if I have read-only configured on that specific folder?

If I disable the folder access this works without a problem.

Any information is much appreciated

Thanks
Chris

Re: Read Only and Read-Write

What is the configuration that you have on the share? (Guest access? Advanced settings?)
What protocol are you using?

Hi There,

Configuration as follows:

- 2 shares "media" and "backup"
- CIFS = Read-Only
- AFP = Read-Only
- CIFS = Guest Disabled
- AFP = Guest Disabled
- Advanced Options
- Share folder owner = "nobody"
- Share folder group = "no group"
- Share folder group rights = "Read/Write"
- Share folder everyone rights = "read/Write"

Regards
Chris

I haven't ran into that specific issue. What firmware are you running on your box?
