6.4.0 changes share network access permissions for groups
Upgraded to 6.4.0, no other changes.
Now all windows users get network access credentials prompt when trying to access a share for which same users have always had access as part of a group of user...
Hello vandermerwe,
the problem must be somewhere else. I have no problem accessing shares with access allowed only to a group and not a specific user. RN314 OS 6.4.0. The group existed before the update. The only thing is that I configured this access restriction after the update. Is your problem also true if you assign access to another group / new group?
Bye,

No, this problem affects only "users" group.
All other groups work great.
It concerns SMB page of grant settings for shared folder.
Vagir is right, it is only the embedded group "users" which has this problem.
If I create a group "newusers" and add the same users to it as are in "users"; then remove access rights for "users" group, and all specific users, and then grant access to "newusers" group then the access is as expected.
If I change a user's primary group to "newusers" and then back to "users" it does not make any difference.
And this happened exactly after upgraded to 6.4.0.
No other changes were made, just FW upgrade.
