My initial attempt, following the instructions in the PDF manual and Wiki, setting up a volume, a dataset, two users, and a CIFS share, did not work. Windows could see the share existed but could not access it.
I started following the “Permissions Set-up for Dummies” which is reposted in this section. I changed the characteristics of the Users to match his instructions, and when I got to this step:
I find that although it says "mount changed successfully", when I bring up the Change Permissions box again, it still shows "root"/"wheel". The changes don't take place.
What's going on?

I next went back to the “Storage” tab to configure my permissions. I clicked the “Change Permissions” tab for my dataset and selected the A’s (administrator’s) user name for Owner (user) and “View-Only” for Owner (group). For the volume I clicked the "Change Permissions" tab and selected "noowner" and "nogroup." I then checked the boxes in the volume and the dataset “read, write, and execute” for “owner,” “read and execute” for “group,” and “read and execute” for “other.” I left the remaining configuration boxes unchecked and selected “Windows” for the ACL setting (as all users would be accessing the FreeNAS server via Windows computers). I left the “Set Permissions Recursively” box unchecked (I implemented this feature in another way in my Windows Sharing setting--see next paragraph) and clicked the “Change” button. I double-checked my configuration work after I set permissions.
I find that although it says "mount changed successfully", when I bring up the Change Permissions box again, it still shows "root"/"wheel". The changes don't take place.
