I'm new to TrueNAS, trying to set things up, and have a question about users, groups, permissions, etc.
My own user account/group is called 'jono' and the UID is 1000. I set up a dataset within the ZFS pool called Storage and set 'jono' as the User and Group. I share this via SMB.
Looking at tutorials on YouTube I saw that jails need a user with the UID of 983. So I created a new user with 983 as the UID, created a new dataset, and set the new user and new user's group as the owners. That works fine, but I want to use Syncthing, Plex etc. on my original dataset (Storage).
I was thinking of creating a new group, adding my own user account (jono), and the new user (UID 983) to it in the hope I'll be able to continue using my own user account, sharing via SMB, and syncing to the dataset via Syncthing, Plex being to access movies from that dataset, etc.
Is that the correct way to do it, or is there something else I should do?
