December 24, 20187 yr Hey, I'm trying to standardize all my permissions across my shares but I'm still a little bit confused about what is the nobody user and its users group and what permissions to files with the nobody:users mean exactly. I noticed that all my /mnt/user/appdata/plex/* stuff have 600 permissions with nobody:users, yet the Plex docker has no issue reading/writing to these files. Does that mean that the docker engine in unRAID runs with the nobody user? What about VMs and NFS/SMB? room@vm can read/write from the NFS too even if it's 600 permissions on nobody:users. It almost seems like "nobody" is everybody... as if it was root:root but with 666 permissions. I'm definitely missing something here, any help would be appreciated as I haven't been able to find anything relevant after a quick search. Thank you!
December 25, 20187 yr Community Expert You should probably start by googling owner nobody and group users Then add unraid as a third search term to both of these... Edited December 25, 20187 yr by Frank1940
