[Plugin] Custom SMB Shares
Thanks, yes I do see the RetroArch folder (which is the one created from this plugin) available to map to a drive in windows. So I would have to map the RetroArch SMB Share (/mnt/user/Emulation/RetroArch) as a network drive or location in windows and then when I access the share through that drive specifically it will use the permissions defined for the SMB Share. But if I have a share called Emulation for the parent directory (/mnt/user/Emulation/) mapped to a separate drive in windows and I access the share through that drive and then navigate to the RetroArch subdirectory, my permissions will be based on the permissions of the Emulation share, not the RetroArch SMB share. I didn't realize I had to map the SMB share to its own network drive and was hoping it would just allow me to grant write permission to the RetroArch subdirectory for a user under their existing mapped drive X:\ to the Emulation (parent directory) share. I actually don't mind having a separate share in Unraid for RetroArch and taking it out from being a subdirectory of /mnt/user/Emulation/, but within Windows specifically I was hoping to see the RetroArch folder/share as a subdirectory to the X:\ drive mapped to /mnt/user/Emulation/. I will look into that, but I think I misunderstood the use case for this plugin.

[Plugin] Custom SMB Shares
I'm not able to get this to work. Any tips for troubleshooting? I have share /mnt/user/Emulation/ that gives: read/write access to user bruceyunraid read-only access to user publicunraid I've installed the plugin and under the smbshares tab, I have created a share for /mnt/user/Emulation/RetroArch that gives read/write access to user publicunraid, but when accessing /mnt/user/Emulation/RetroArch/ through a mapped drive on a windows PC that is assigned user publicunraid, I still don't have write access (I cannot create a new file in the directory). For troubleshooting, if I update my /mnt/user/Emulation/ share (from the "shares" tab) to give the publicunraid user read/write access, then I do get write access to the /mnt/user/Emulation/RetroArch/ from the same windows PC. For troubleshooting, I've also tried updating my smb share (from the smbshares tab) to give user bruceyunraid read-only access to /mnt/user/Emulation/RetroArch/, but when I do that the user still seems to have write access rather than read-only. I cannot tell that the share I've set up from the smbshares tab is having any effect at all, and permissions for /mnt/user/Emulation/RetroArch/ still seem to be respecting my main share permissions at /mnt/user/Emulation/ from the shares tab.
