December 18, 20241 yr say for instance I have a windows share \home with \home\user1, \home\user2 .... folders within. Is there anyway to make it so if user1 goes to \\unraidserver\home that he would only see his \home\user1 folder and nothing else?
December 18, 20241 yr Community Expert There is this hack/trick using a Linux 'symbolic link'. (Not supported by LimeTech...) https://forums.unraid.net/topic/137806-creat-a-user-share-containing-a-portion-of-another-user-share/#comment-1251067 It is fairly easy to to do but you will end up with three User Shares-- The 'Home' share, the 'user1' share and the 'user2' share. But it is not for the faint-of-heart neophyte to try to implement. And remember that any Share Access user with privileges to the 'Home' share will also have the same access privileges to the 'user1' and 'user2' portion of 'Home'. So weight carefully what the advantages is of using a symbolic link over moving the the file segment for each of these two user files up to /mnt/user mounting point and thus create a separate Share for each user. There is a rational for using symbolic links for granting access to another user to only a portion of a file system. For example, you might have a Media share which contains a section named 'Children_Movies'. You could use a symbolic link to which your children had read-only access but still deny them access to the rest of the contents of 'Media'. But anyone with access to 'Media' would still have access to 'Children_Movies'.
