User manual

251
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.
