I have one Share on my unraid server that has multiple folders within. I have setup a new user account and want that account to be able to see one specific folder with read only access and none of the other folders. How would I do this?

 

Also, once getting this to work, will my sabnzbd and sickbeard plugins be able to write to this folder using the "nobody" account?

You can use the smb-extra.conf file to achieve this. See

Hi

 

Thanks for the reply. So could I setup a share called "Data" which is /mnt/user/Data/ within unraid that has root with full r/w access and then ...

 

edit the smb-extra.conf file and put in

 

[media]

  path = /mnt/user/Data/Video

  read only = yes

  guest ok = yes

 

would this then create a share called media with read only access? Would it matter that it is within the "Data" share that is already setup?

 

Yes.

Root would get to the Video directory by the Data share (Data/Video)

Guests would see the Video directory by the media share

Brilliant! I shall try that and repoty back. Thanks for your help!

You can also make read-only shares using the unRAID GUI.

How would you share a folder within an existing share using the GUI?

Not as a separate share. smb.conf should do this.
