Hi there! Total newbie FreeNAS user here, evaluating the OS. I downloaded the latest version a couple of days ago. I'm having trouble with the share configuration.
I made a simple install of the OS with default settings. Created a zfs volume.
I want a user "media" to have READ-ONLY access to a "media" dataset. No guest access.
I want a user "media_rw" to have READ AND WRITE access to the same dataset.
I created a "media_rw" user, default settings.
I created a "media" user and set the primary group to "wheel".
I created the "media" dataset, and set the permissions to "media_rw", "wheel" and Owner: R+W, Group: R, Other: None. Unix permission type. (Tried Windows permission type before but then the checkboxes were grayed out)
So now, in my mind, user "media_rw" is the owner and as such has read/write access to the "media" folder. User "media" is in the "wheel" group, and the "wheel" group has READ acces.
But...
On my Windows machine I can mount the "media" using root/mypassword and put files in it. No problem.
But when I try to mount it as "media" or "media_rw" .. it's a no go. Well, actually, I can mount it (using net use) but when I click on it in explorer I get the "X:\ is not accessible. Access denied" error popup.
What am I not understanding here? Please advice!
