synology-cli

A command-line guide for administering Synology DiskStation NAS devices, which are network storage computers, through SSH. It uses Synology’s administrative utilities to manage accounts, folders, services, and network settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or modify users and groups, manage shared folders, configure network or workgroup settings, and control Synology services.
Why use it?
It provides concrete commands for NAS administration instead of requiring the user to remember each utility and its arguments. The operations require SSH access and administrator privileges.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

synology-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Synology NAS CLI Administration

Help users manage Synology DiskStation via SSH using the six CLI utilities located at /usr/syno/sbin/.

Reference: Synology CLI Administrator Guide

Prerequisites

  • SSH access to the Synology NAS (enable via DSM > Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP)
  • Root/super-user privileges (all utilities require super-user)
  • Commands are at /usr/syno/sbin/ — use full path or add to $PATH

User Management — synouser

# Add user (username passwd full_name expired email app_privilege)
/usr/syno/sbin/synouser --add john "p@ssw0rd" "John Doe" 0 [email protected] 0

# Delete user
/usr/syno/sbin/synouser --del john

# Rename user
/usr/syno/sbin/synouser --rename oldname newname

# Modify user info
/usr/syno/sbin/synouser --modify john "newpass" "John D." 0 [email protected] 0

# Set password only
/usr/syno/sbin/synouser --setpw admin newpassword

Parameters:

  • username: 1–64 UTF-8 chars, not case sensitive
  • passwd: up to 127 chars, case sensitive
  • expired: 0 = active, 1 = expired
  • app_privilege: bitmask — FTP (0x01), File Station (0x02), Audio Station (0x04), Download Station (0x08), Surveillance Station (0x10). Sum for multiple (e.g., 31 = all)

Group Management — synogroup

# Add group with initial members
/usr/syno/sbin/synogroup --add developers user1 user2

# Delete group
/usr/syno/sbin/synogroup --del developers

# Rename group
/usr/syno/sbin/synogroup --rename oldgroup newgroup

# Set group members (replaces entire member list)
/usr/syno/sbin/synogroup --member developers user1 user2 user3

Restrictions: Group name 1–15 UTF-8 chars. System groups cannot be deleted or renamed.

Shared Folder Management — synoshare

# Add shared folder
# synoshare --add name desc path user_list_na user_list_ro user_list_rw browsable adv_privilege
/usr/syno/sbin/synoshare --add projects "Projects" /volume1/projects "" "" "" 1 0

# Delete shared folder (TRUE = delete data, FALSE = config only)
/usr/syno/sbin/synoshare --del TRUE projects

# Rename shared folder
/usr/syno/sbin/synoshare --rename oldname newname

# Set user permissions (NA|RO|RW) (+|-|=) user_list
/usr/syno/sbin/synoshare --setuser projects RW + user1,user2,@group1
/usr/syno/sbin/synoshare --setuser projects RO = user3
/usr/syno/sbin/synoshare --setuser projects NA - user4

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

synology-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository lyhcode/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 1,885 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
