Sonos can no longer access NAS

My library lives on a Synology NAS, and I've succesfully played music from there for months. Recently, I had reason to clean up my NAS user list, and I'm afraid one of the users I cleaned out was the user Sonos was using. I suspect I allowed Sonos to use the Guest account, and I've disabled that.

Is there a way to modify the credentials used by Sonos to access a network folder? I'd strongly prefer to create a specific Sonos user on the NAS, and use that to access the folder from Sonos.

(If not, I'll just re-enable Guest with read access to the music folder.)

Delete the share, then add it again to change the username/password.

Thanks, @jgatie ! Would that have an impact on my current library in Sonos, or would it simply be a matter of one-time re-indexing?

It will just reindex. Your music will remain untouched.
