changes to files and subfolders" and "Apply and replace all existing permissions of this
folder, files, and subfolders" are selected.
o Only admin can create files and folders: This option is only available for root folders.
Select this option to allow admin to create first-level subfolders and files in the
selected folder only. For example, in the folder "Dept", only the admin can create files
and subfolders Admin, HR, Production, and so on. Other users with read/write access
to Dept can only create files and folders in the second and lower-level subfolders such
as Admin01, Admin02, HR1, and HR2.
o Apply changes to files and subfolders: Apply permissions settings except owner
protection and root folder write protection settings to all the files and subfolders within
the selected folder. These settings include new users, deleted users, modified
permissions, and folder owner. The options "Only the owner can delete the contents"
and "Only admin can create files and folders" will not be applied to subfolders.
o Apply and replace all existing permissions of this folder, files, and subfolders: Select
this option to override all previously configured permissions of the selected folder and
its files and subfolders except owner protection and root folder write protection
settings. The options "Only the owner can delete the contents" and "Only admin can
create files and folders" will not be applied to subfolders.
o 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 only be used for administrative and backup tasks.
7. After changing the permissions, click "Apply" and then "YES" to confirm.

subfolders.
 If you have specified "read only access" for a user on the root folder, the user will have
read only access to all the subfolders even if you select read/write access to the
subfolders.
