QNAP Folder Permission Issue
-
Both SMB Shares and NTFS ACLs use a user list from Active Directory, of course, if that is set up properly. But AD is just a user list that the two, unrelated systems, pull their list of accounts from. SMB and NTFS can't talk to each other. One is a network protocol, the other is an on disk filesystem. Conceptually, they can't communicate or interact with each other.

Thanks for correcting me ..
How can i provide full permission to to that folder to the user . Full permission is configured with Windows ACL . Also am confused that the read/write tick is enabled and preview showing Read Only . i have verified all other folders,non having this issue

Because FOLDERS can only have NTFS ACL permissions. Granting "full" in ACL has nothing whatsoever to do with the SMB Share.
It is the SMB Shere where you are seeing Read Only. You can only modify the SMB Share permissions on the QNAP.
Windows cannot change the share permissions, QNAP cannot change the ACL permissions. There is no exception to this.

That's Talking about Enabling NTFS Permission Support and Changing them. What's the Question?
It sounds like the Issue is you gave them Read Only to the SMB Share but Full to the NTFS Permissions. NTFS Permissions apply both locally and remotely. SMB shares only apply remotely. For example if that user was able to access the folder locally (say it was on a desktop instead of a NAS) He would have full permissions but, since it's remote it gets filtered through the SMB Permissions and and max the user only can have Read-only access.

Thanks all , now am cleared

Great, glad that we were able to get that sorted. Because the permissions are layered when accessing a share remotely it can get pretty confusing, especially when you never have raw access to the filesystem when on a NAS compared to sharing from a desktop, for example.
