Renderz Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hi, I hope someone can help Windows won't let me login into TOWER with my ROOT login, even though I can use the ROOT login to access the web gui. Because it won't allow me to login as ROOT, I am forced to login using another account I created, however that user restricts me to read files/folders only. I simply cannot delete, copy TO or rename anything. PLEASE HELP!! Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Assuming that you want to use "root" to access files / folders over the network. That is strictly not allowed. The root user is only for SSH / WebUI logins. Create another user that has full access to all the shares and use it to login to the shares to manipulate them. Quote Link to comment
Renderz Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hi Squid I do have another user called TERRY, with that account I can access folders/file etc, but like I said I ONLY have read access. I can't copy to, delete, rename etc.... Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Check Terry's permissions for the shares in the WebUI for unRaid Quote Link to comment
Renderz Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I must mention that the share is not actually a configured "share" until the SHARE menu. It's a mounted drive using the plugin UNASSIGNED DRIVES. It has been working fine until a week ago, now I've run out of ideas. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Unassigned Devices has its smb settings that you can configure. Its in the settings tab Quote Link to comment

I've attached a screengrab that may give you a clue, but I personally don't know what it means. THAT is why I've been trying to login as ROOT to the share.

In the Settings for Unassigned Devices. Forget about Windows Security settings. Quote Link to comment
Renderz Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sorry, I meant I had tried the settings in Unassigned Devices (see screengrab) but that still does't work. Even created a new account called Pops to see if that solved anything, but it seems to be a headache. Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 You should probably read through this thread. The link is to a post by LimeTech which shows why SMB can be such a bear to get working properly. Reading through the rest of the thread may give you some insight into how to solve your problem. Unfortunately, you often have to reboot everything that is involved in your SMB system to test out a different approach because some prior action may prevent the solution from working...

How can you write/delete files with root level permission then? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 What are you trying to do? Normal shares should have no trouble. Appdata probably will and you would either use the command prompt or something like krusader to dynamix file manager Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Another tool is Midnight commander which built into Unraid and is accessible from the GUI Terminal--- the >_ icon on the GUI toolbar. Midnight Commander (mc) is a dual pane editor and runs with root privileges. To use it, just type mc at the command line prompt. Using it, you can manipulate any file/directory in the entire Unraid file structure. IF you need instructions in its use, Google linux mc tutorial Quote Link to comment
