Hello all, I am having some issues, either technical or my own stupidity regarding permissions for accessing shares through CIFS. If I can explain what I am trying to do I hope that someone can tell me where I am going wrong in my logic. Running FreenNAS 9.10
I have one data set called DataPool that has 10 folders as part of the data set. The dataset permissions are set to Windows with my user ID "admin" as the owner and the group ID "Group" I have created a CIFS share to DataPool and I am able to see CIFS share in Windows. The PC I am logged onto is using the user ID and password matching the user ID created in FreeNAS so when I touch the share I have instant access to the share. I know how to modify windows permissions but here is where my problem begins.
I have that I want to either Block access to, Read, and Read/Write access to on various folders in the CIFS share. In theory when a user hits the share it will promt them to provide credentials to allow them access to the folders they have rights to below. The problem I have today is when
By default FreeNAS creates the everyone, owner, and group ID from FreeNAS. I have been removing the everyone as I dont want everyone to have access. So what I am left with is the owner and group owner from FreeNAS. This works great for the owner ID as I am logged in using the same ID but if any one else tries to authenticate to the share to access folder they have rights to in the CIFS share it wont connect. Get permission denied message.
So here is the million dollar question:
Question 1: What should the permissions be on the root of the CIFS Share.
Question 2: Why wont my users be able to access folders they have permissions to?
I am hoping this is something I am not doing properly that this community can help me fix.
