Any1? It's running under sc-sabnzbd now, and I would like to run it under sc-medusa due to permission issues.

It was designed to run like that by SynoCommunity. It has also created a "sc-downloads" group, which you can add the Medusa user to. The sabnzbd user is already part of it, this is done by the sabnzbd package. Other packages, like Sonarr Radarr etc are also part of this group so they can access each other's data.
