March 8, 201016 yr I have a few Windows PCs (Win XP through to Win 7) and have two user accounts setup on each of them. The 'user' local account for normal run of the mill usage of the PC and 'admin' local account for full admin access to the local PC(s). I want to set my unraid share to that people using the 'user' login in Windows only gets read only access to the share, while those how log in using the 'admin' account gets full read/write access. Is this possible and if so, how can I set this up? I'm using 4.5.3 Pro.
March 9, 201016 yr Yes, this is possible. You'll need to be using user shares (not disk shares) and you'll need to set up 'user level security' on you unRAID server. Leave the default 'root' user as it is, then add two more users like this: Username: admin Password: whateveryouwant Username: guest Password: [leave blank] Once this is done, go to your 'shares' page and change your 'user shares export mode' to 'read-only'. Then, on each user share, add an exception for 'admin'. Now go to each of your PCs and attempt to connect to your unRAID server - Windows will prompt you for a username and password. If you are logged into the PC as admin, then log into the unRAID server as 'admin' + 'password'. If you are logged into your PC as user, then log into the unRAID server as 'guest' (with no password). In each case, check the little checkbox to 'remember this username and password'. Let me know if you run into any trouble.
March 10, 201016 yr Another option is to setup specific smb shares (at disk or directory level) as described in: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4110.msg36325#msg36325
