February 10, 20251 yr Hello.. I´m having some problems with permissions.. I have got 2tb free space, but i cant move/copy my files from my pc to my unraid server..?? So how do i change my permissions?? Thank you!
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert From the release notes for version 7: This solution will fix most permission problems. (I have a single Share access user on Unraid and add a Windows Credential using Windows Credential manager for each computer to that user. You need multiple users only if you want to restrict some users' access to certain shares.)
February 11, 20251 yr Author Hello again, thank you for reply... I went back to unraid 6.12.15.. The problem is that i can´t transfer to the server, from either windows or linux?? I do not know what to do here?? Anyone with a suggestion ?? Thank you..
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread. It is always a good idea when asking questions to supply your diagnostics so we can see details of your system, how you have things configured, and the current syslog.
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert Are you using NFS or SMB? What are the Error messages? Can you transfer after rolling back to 6.12.15? Plus that diagnostics file in a new post in this thread!
February 11, 20251 yr Author Hello again... I´m using smb.. Here is my diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20250211-1843.zip
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert You have a mixture of 'Public and 'Private' shares. There appears to be two shares which might differ only in capitalization-- T-------e and t-------e. This is a no-no for SMB shares as Windows ignores capitalization! If this is the case, report that back and we can address that issue. What share(s) are you have problems with? (You don't have to tell us their full name-- just the first and last letters is enough.) If the problem exists with every share, then we will have to have a look at the permissions on the Linux File structure. The New Permissions tool may fix things but it won't fix the underlying cause of the problem.
February 11, 20251 yr Author Hello again, and thank you I saw that i had 2 of the same names on the share but with different big letters.. So i have deleted the one i dont need:) Can i try the new permissions without it deleting anything?? Thank you!
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert 1 hour ago, Mattti1912 said: Can i try the new permissions without it deleting anything?? Yes. It will only change the owner to 'nobody', group top 'users', directory permissions to 777 and File permissions to 666. Read the warning in the tool's instructions about the 'appdata' share!!!!
February 11, 20251 yr Author Hello again. thank you! English is not my first language.. So im not sure i understand this correctly? If i use this tool, it will change all of my files owner to nobody?? what does that meen?? and how do i change back to me as a root user?? Directory permission will be set to 777. Which is read/write and execute..?? My files would be set to 666 which is read/write?? About my appdata it's on my cache drive.. it says this " Note that this tool may negatively affect any docker containers if you allow your appdata share to be included." Does that meen that i have to reinstall my docker containers such as jellyfin, qbittorrent etc..?? Lastly how do i change my files/folders permissions back to me as a user?? Thank you for all your help.. regards:)
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert If you are using SMB, that is what the group and permissions have to be. When you set up a Share Access user on Unraid, that user becomes a member of the group, 'users'. (As a side point, 'nobody' is also a member of 'users'.) When you go to access a share if you are not the owner of the resource, you will have to gain access using the group permissions. (You DO NOT HAVE TO be the owner to gain access to a resource. But you do have to be a member of the group-- 'users'!) Understand that Unraid does not work quite the way that most other client operating system do when granting access to files. Remember that it is server software and that it expects that many different user logins will want to have some type of access to the same set of files. Some of them will have read-write access, some will have read-only access, and some will have no access at all. Unraid provides for all of these scenarios. Below is an example of what I mean: Notice that there are three different owners of these files. Yet, 'nobody', 'user', and 'smbuser' can all access these files using the permissions allotted to them using the SMB Share settings as shown below: Since this Share is 'Private', 'nobody' has no access to this Share. Think of 'nobody' as being a guest who does not have a log-in to the server but is still allowed access. Hope this helps... Edited February 11, 20251 yr by Frank1940
