In my day, that was called a Sysop and no difference, it just means you are giving your self permissions, but NAS boxes can be multi-user, it all depends on the use case, but it's no different from a NAS sitting at home to a server in a data centre.

data in a public data center can be accessed by those whom administer the service(s)

As previously pointed out to you, there is no such thing as a public data centre, they are all owned by private companies. So it does not matter if the NAS is in your private home or a server is in a data centre, all that changes is you don't have to charge yourself a monthly fee for accessing your data on the NAS.

And all I’m trying to do is lock down things so no one can get in and I have access when I need to!
I think I’m ok. At least I’ve been Ok so far…..

Though between this thread and a conversation with wife over expenses ‘for NAS’s’ this coming year… I’m beginning to sound like my old bosses at the Network!
