Operation Manual

401
Special Permission: This option is only available for root folders. Select this option
and choose between “Read only” or “Read/Write” to allow a user to access to all the
contents of a folder irrespectively of the pre-configured permissions. A user with
special permission will be identified as “admin” when he/she connects to the folder via
Microsoft Networking. If you have granted special permission with “Read/Write”
access to the user, the user will have full access and is able to configure the folder
permissions on Windows. Note that all the files created by this user belong to
“admin”. Since “admin” does not have quota limit on the NAS, the number and size of
the files created by users with special permission will not be limited by their pre-
configured quota settings. This option should be used for administrative and backup
tasks only.
After changing the permissions, click “Apply” and then “YES” to confirm.
