December 10, 201015 yr Hi, Currently I have several shares setup which only myself has read/write access to. I'd like to have some of the same shares with read only access for a few other users. What's the best way to do this. Many thanks Mike

December 10, 201015 yr Author Hi, Currently I have several shares setup which only myself has read/write access to. I'd like to have some of the same shares with read only access for a few other users. What's the best way to do this. Many thanks Mike create another user in the unRAID webUI and set it up so that they do not have write access. I'm using the Pro version 4.5.6, not sure if that makes any difference? So do I do this by leaving myself in the valid users and putting their user names in the 'invalid users' box? Or do you mean I create the same shares again but just give read access to the users I want? Sorry for being a little slow Thanks D
December 10, 201015 yr set the share as read only, put all your users in the valid users section, then put yourself in the exceptions box. The exceptions box basically tells unRAID that the specified user is allowed to read/write if the share is set to read-only.
December 10, 201015 yr So do I do this by leaving myself in the valid users and putting their user names in the 'invalid users' box? No both users need to be valid users to be able to access the files. You either need to leave both fields blank, or fill in all the users who will access the files in any way in the valid users box. You export the drive read only and put your user name as the exception. You'll be able to write to it nobody else will. Joe L.
December 11, 201015 yr I use a smb-extra.conf file to achieve similar results e.g the following entries create a share which is read only and visible to all [Movies] and one that is not visible and editable only by a loged in user [Movies_rw]: [Movies] path = /mnt/disk1/Movie read only = yes guest ok = yes [Movies_rw] path = /mnt/disk1/Movie read only = no guest ok = no browseable = no browsable = no
