I'm entirely new to this, so I apologize for my stupidity. I promise I'll post another dumb thread soon. I'm going to post pictures as I go along so you guys get all the details. Hopefully they're helpful and not intrusive.

So I've installed FreeNAS on a computer, it's up and running. I've created a user, named Admin, which requires a password. It's part of the wheel group.

I then created a volume, made it's owner Admin, and it's owner group wheel.

Lastly, I created a Windows share. It links to that volume and everything.

The issue I'm having is, I'm unable to connect to it. I can see it on my network, and when I click on it I'm asked for a username and password.

I enter the username Admin, and the password I created for that account, but I'm unable to get access.

When I give access to guests I'm immediately in, no issues, but it doesn't even ask me to log in and I'd like the option in case I want to limit guest permissions.

So, in the optimal setup I'd like it to ask for a username and password, but be bypassable by guests who then are unable to alter any files. Can somebody assist me in achieving this?

I'm still new myself, so may not be the most qualified.

It looks to me like you have created a volume but no datasets.

Personally, I created a volume, set the permissions to NOBODY and NOGROUP with all 9 permissions boxes checked. (chmod 777 I think it is)
Then create a dataset (multiple probably) within that volume and try setting your permissions there and point the shares to those datasets.

This is how I have done it and it seems to work. (However my visitor account can read, not write, but CAN delete. I'm still seeking help with that one)

Good luck!
