Just finished building my box with Unraid v4.4.2 Pro. Now I'm working on setting up the permissions. My goal was to set permission on only one drive in the array but I found no way of doing this by disk only. So I enabled  user shares on one folder on the disk I'm reserving for this purpose. I entered the newly created user into the "Exceptions" and the "Valid users" field and restricted the "Included disk" and the "Excluded disk" so data will be restricted to one disk only. I applied the setting and \\ to the folder and got a challenge. Enter the ID and Pass and got another challenge. Tried the Admin root\ pass and got the same thing too. Okay lets reboot. Same results. I still can browser to the share and see all the files. So what am I doing wrong?

 

Another issue is how do I prevent the Xp to see all the unraid disk shares in "network neighborhood"? Is that the "Export" reference in the "Export SMB" setting? In the manual the Export term is never explained. I'm trying to hide all UnRaid shares and drives from browsing and restrict access on one drive if I can not restrict a drive then a folder on that drive is fine too.

 

Thanks for any thoughts on this matter there does not see to be any direct forum posting on my issues.

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure if I'm reading you right, but I suspect you may have specified conflicting options for the share.  If you want the share to be writable by you but readable by any other account, use the following:

 

Included disk(s): the disk you want to tie it to

Excluded disk(s): <blank>

Export (SMB): Export read-only

Exceptions: your user account

Valid users: <blank>

Invalid users: <blank>

 

For your other shares, which you want hidden and accessible only by you, you would use

 

Export (SMB): Export read/write, hidden

Exceptions: <blank>

Valid users: your user account

Invalid users: <blank>
