Super user access

Can anyone please help me explain how to create a user that can access all users home directories like a superadmin?

    The 'admin' user can already do this. Configuring any other user to have such access is unsupported.
  • I have tried but I can only see the homes/admin folder when logging in as admin via ftp in this case.
    When logging in as another user the correct homes/xxx shows up for that user.
    How can I log in to the NAS in Windows with another user?
  • Open a command prompt and type "net use t: \\192.168.x.xxx\c /user:admin password" without the "" and substitute the ip address for what ever your Nas ip is and put your admin password, this will map the root of your Nas and you will see it in my computer and will have access to all home folders.
