How to give user access to multiple directories?

[Saurabh Bhatia]

I've been using FreeNAS for about a month and find it extremely useful so far. However, as a n00b, there are some features/terms that I'm not familiar with which is keeping me from being able to use FreeNAS to it's fullest extent.

Here is what I have already done:
- Installed FreeNAS and added volume called "VOLUME_1"
- "VOLUME_1" has folders "FOLDER_1", "FOLDER_2", "FOLDER_3" etc.
- Created group named "GROUP_1"
- Created users "USER_1", "USER_2" as group "GROUP_1" and assigned home directory as "/mnt/VOLUME_1/FOLDER_1" and "/mnt/VOLUME_1/FOLDER_2" respectively

Problem:
"USER_1" only has access to "FOLDER_1"
and "USER_2" can only see files in "FOLDER_2"

This is what I'm looking to accomplish:
- Need to give "USER_1" R/W access to "FOLDER_1" and "FOLDER_2"
(Question: is it possible to give same user access to multiple directory locations on the volume?)
- Need to give "USER_2" R/W access to "FOLDER_3" and read-only access to "FOLDER_2"
(Question: how can same user be given different access rights to different folders?)

I've tried searching the forums but I don't think I'm searching with the right terminology.
