Giving others the Administrator credentials to your NAS is generally not recommended. So if you need someone to perform specific administrative tasks, you should use Delegate instead. In this video, we’ll show you how to delegate Administrator controls on your Synology NAS.
Note: Each time you use your administrators credentials, you increase the risk that your administrators user name and password will become compromised. So while this risk will be low if you are careful about what devices you use to connect to Disk Station Manager. We suggest that you use Delegate, and recommend that you enable two factor authentication on your administrators account for added security. This is of particularly important if your NAS is directly accessible from the internet. As two factor authentication will help to prevent brute force attacks on your administrators password.
