Why aren’t my user permissions being applied correctly?

NAS admins can explicitly assign shared folder permissions to users and groups on your NAS. When a user is assigned different permissions for a shared folder, the system uses the following hierarchy to resolve conflicts: Deny > Read/Write > Read Only > Unspecified. If a user has multiple permissions, whichever permission is greater takes priority.
See the following table for details:
| User Permission | User Group Permission | Actual Permission |
|---|---|---|
| No Access | No Access | No Access |
| Read/Write | No Access | |
| Read Only | No Access | |
| Unspecified | No Access | |
| No Access | Read/Write | No Access |
| Read/Write | Read/Write | |
| Read Only | Read/Write | |
| Unspecified | Read/Write | |
| No Access | Read Only | No Access |
| Read/Write | Read/Write | |
| Read Only | Read Only | |
| Unspecified | Read Only | |
| No Access | Unspecified | No Access |
| Read/Write | Read/Write | |
| Read Only | Read Only | |
| Unspecified | No Access |
Note
By default, all users are in the everyone group. Make sure to check the access rights for this group to avoid conflicts.
