Well, basicly thats great, because that does give you options.

Well, yes, thats true, but keep in mind that, almost any OS is increasing
security settings, a "easy" setup now, might bit you later on.

Well, then i suggest, 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Standalone_Server 
That shows also what you. Its most simple, the "demo" share shows what you want, 
1 share, for multiple users. 

Only, you need to add that through the DSM software from synology
Its some time ago i worked with these. :-/ and i see DSM 7 is pretty new.
Just give it a go and test it carefully.

See how far you come and if its not working, mail the list here. 
(ps. I might be bit slow in responce, 1 week hard needed vacation in 10 min )  :-))
