Examples for Setting the Advanced Folder Permissions

These examples show how you can manage the NAS shared folders using the

advanced folder permissions.

NOTE In the following example, you already have a shared folder named “Personal” and

everyone has read/write permission. The target is to allow everyone the access to

add new folders but allow only the folder’s owner or admin to delete that folder.

To allow read/write access to everyone but only the folder owner can delete the

contents:

STEP 1 From the Share Folder window, select the folder name “Personal” and click the

Folder Permissions icon.

STEP 2 Check the check box Only the owner can delete the contents. Using this option,

if a user creates a folder, only that user will be able to delete that folder.

STEP 3 Uncheck the check box Apply changes to files and subfolders to apply the

permissions only on the selected folder.

STEP 4 Click Apply to save the settings.
