I've had to re-install FreeNAS recently (without my old configuration). In the process I've upgraded to version 9.3. So I'm fairly confident that I have most things set up properly, but I'm having one lingering issue that I can't quite resolve. As of now, from the CIFS share (from Windows 7) I can read and execute fine enough, butthe write seems a bit wonky though. I can usually change files or file names and create new files on the share. However, when I try to go through the Windows 7 properties context menu to change the Read Only characteristics (it's the same thing for hidden files as well), there is a message that I need administrator access (this is an administrator user on Windows), when I go to continue, I get an error that I don't have access. So I think there must be an issue with the permissions, but I thought everything is set to read/write in FreeNAS and I have the password of the owner of the storage equal to the Windows 7 password.
I had this issue before and solved it by using some other guide (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/cifs-windows-sharing-guide.20948/). I referred to that guide and I think everything is set up the same way.
Right now I have a root user, guest, and one that matches my Windows 7 login. Root and the Windows 7 login are both members of wheel. Storage permissions have been set so that the Windows 7 user is the owner and wheel is the group owner with Windows permission type, set recursively, and read/write/execute given to owner and group. The wizard created a share dataset when I set it up (wasn't there before), but I haven't noticed that files within the share folder it created have any difference in terms of being able to change the Read only setting.
