Yup, that's the standard behavior of most NAS's I know. <br />
User-based permissions, where every user has a password.<br />
<br />
The advantage: you can grant access to more that 1 user to the same share, each with their own password.<br />
<br />
If you really want to grant access to anonymous users, all using the same password, use the FTP option.<br />

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
