Help with permissions

[frazzxr]

Hello. 

 

This is my first post and I am new to unraid.  If this is not the appropriate forum, please correct and forgive me.

 

I am having a hard time understanding permissions and what I may be doing wrong.  Here is what is going on:

 

1.  I have an smb share called Users.

2.  I have given a user named bob read only to this share

3.  In the share using the Dynamix File Manager, I have created a folder called Bob.

4.  I have set the folder owner of the folder Bob to the user bob.

5.  I have given the owner full read/write permissions.

6.  Via SMB on a Windows machine, I can visit my NAS and login as bob and navigate to the Users folder.  I am unable to create anything under Users (as I would expect).

7.  In the Users folder, I can see the Bob folder.  I can open the Bob folder.  When trying to create a file or folder, I am presented with an error "Destination folder access denied" - "You need permissions to perform this action".  This is not the behavior I am expecting.  

 

Should I not be able to create something under that folder?  I am trying to give each user a separate folder under the Users folder.  I understand I can probably create an SMB share for each user, but this is the way I wish to approach it.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Not sure what this has to do with your Mac computer or why you posted in a thread for Macs using SMB but I believe you misunderstand how Unraid sets permissions. You set permissions for each share on the shares tab.

Perhaps the Dynamix File Manager support thread would be a better place to post regarding issues with the plugin.

Would probably be easiest if you just post your question in the link I gave you.
