By default, when you grant access to ReadyCLOUD users, those users can view and edit shared folders on your ReadyNAS system.
You use the ReadyCLOUD web portal to configure the access rights to individual shared folders. For each shared folder, you can specify which ReadyCLOUD users have permission to view or edit the folder. The following table lists the access right options:
|
Access Right |
Description |
|
Read-only |
The user with this permission can read files on this shared folder, but cannot edit or create files on this shared folder. |
|
Read/write |
A user with this permission can read, edit, and create files on this shared folder. |
|
Read-only for everyone with exceptions |
Access to this shared folder is read-only for all users except for one or more users who are granted read/write permission. |
|
Read/write for everyone with exceptions |
Access to this shared folder is read/write for all users except for one or more users who are granted read-only permission. |
|
Disabled with exceptions |
Access to this shared folder is disabled for all users except for one or more users who are granted either read-only or read/write permission. |
