Access Denied for users assigned to group. Not sure what to do next.

[rbabich]

I am running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201605170422.
I am at my wits-end. Have not found my answer in docs. not sure where to go now.

I have a share for our engineers. That only people in the engineer group should be able to see.

I am using CIFS for the share

I made sure that the windows permissions were there. and they are listed for the engineer group

When I try to access the share with a member of the engineering group I still get access denied.

any advice on what to look at next?

Thanks the reply. Had watched these before. I posted a picture of my volume permissions and it is set the same way.
With Owner being NOBODY, and group being the group name.

You've not demonstrated that the user is in the engineering group.

I am sorry, Here is the test user that i am working with right now, but it is everyone in the group engineering that is getting denied.

Are you denying everyone? That will deny everyone, regardless of specific permissions.

Nope, Just looked at Windows permissions and everyone is set for Read, and list contents.

Check the Apply Default Permissions checkbox and start over on the Windows side. Report back with the results.

I set the default permissions. Looked at the permissions, still teh same, and still denied access.

Are you logging in to the share as 'testengineer'? If you're already connected to the FreeNAS server in Windows as a different user, you have to clear all connections using the net use \\server\share /d command first.

I have another machine that I was trying to log in from. My permissions are Root on my desk machine.

What's that supposed to mean? You're logging in as root? Why would you do that?

 

[rbabich]

No, they are part of Root group. But I figured out the problem, something was corrupted.
I did a new install and things work fine now.
Thanks for help.
