In this video we take a look at how you create and edit Groups and Permissions, as we prepare to make our network shares accessible on our Synology NAS. We work with group permissions rather than individually assigning permissions, because Groups are seen as a more efficient way of working. So if on our Synology NAS we use groups to setup our permissions, not only do we reduce the chance that we assign the wrong permissions to a user. We can also implement permission changes more quickly.
Note: For a home network with only one or two users, there is nothing stopping you from by passing Groups and just manually assigning folder permissions individually to each of your users accounts. In this instance rather than setting permissions in Groups, you simply set user permissions by editing a User account.
