CIFS sharing to multiple workgroups

[Brindar AxlMeson]

Can you have multiple workgroups on one FreeNas System?

I want to set up one workgroup for myself and my computers, to ease the sharing. But I don't want this to be the standard 'WORKGROUP'. So that people who I live with, that don't know anything about networking, just can't see the drives. (and can't fiddle with them)

But I also want a standard workgroup to make it easy to share data from one drive, that shows directly in the network windows of the client computer.
Without compromising the security of my other drives.

If there is another solution that doesn't require configuring the client computer, tell me. I've been looking around the forums and the doc files and can't seem to find a solution.

Workgroups are nothing more than "soft" domains in my eyes. With that being said, as long as you don't use the same username on both workgroups you can do local authentication on FreeNAS and setup everything how you want it.
