Change permissions to allow everyone access to inherited NAS
We have inherited a NAS that has an IP address but I am unclear how to connect and a few of the folks in the office need to copy folders that they do not have access to. They are all on Workgroup computers which is unusual and can access the NAS through them.
I am on my laptop but a different workgroup. I have the IP address for the NAS and some usernames and passwords.
Assistance is greatly appreciated.

It appears to be a windows permissions issue. There was a group called nobody which I removed and it now lets me 'attempt' to include Everyone full access for all the files on the NAS. However, it won't let me change them all and gives me access denied. Can I force the change?

Very interesting. We finally got into the NAS from a web browser both at ip/admin and at ip/shares. The admin gives more options but I don't see a way to fix the problem there.
I notice that I don't run into any permission issues when accessing folders on the NAS via my laptop despite the different workgroup than what everyone else is on.
When accessing the files from another computer on the workgroup, I don't have permissions to some of the folders.
I would like to restrict permissions somewhat but at least allow one of them to access all the files.
