[darkzwesjel]

Hello,

I've searched a while for an good answer but can't find it really.
I would like to setup an nas with mutltiple users.
example users = wesley,aaaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd
each user have its own computer

now i would like to create 6 maps
example maps:
-wesley access wesley
-aaaa access aaaa,wesley
-bbbb access bbbb,wesley
-cccc access cccc,wesley
-dddd access dddd,wesley
-openshare access wesley,aaaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd

i would like to make like 5 user names en 5 passwords.
that can be used on everyone computer like. when aaaa is on cccc computer i could get to his file by typing his account info.

i had an lacie nas before buth the fw was corrupted. but it had easy access like i mentin above. also i had access www. i already saw it is also configurable but that is for later, first i would like to create 5 maps and 5 acounts. that are independ of witch computer it is working on.

thx in advance

There are a bunch of settings you will have to get right in the CIFS Service, the individual shares, and in the permissions of the volumes that will be shared. I gives a lot of people, including myself, problems. But, at a high level, it's Service-Shares-Volumes-Users.

Logically, you can achieve what you want through volume permissions and user groups. If you want to provide access to arbitrary individuals on a per-share basis, for each each volume that you want to share, VolYY, you can create a user group MembersYY. In the permissions for VolYY, give rights to group MembersYY. Control access to VolYY by adding and removing users in MembersYY. VolYY is put forth on your LAN as ShareYY, but the access control you're after is through configuring permissions of VolYY and the MembersYY group.

As you said, each user would have a unique user account on Freenas that they log into.
