Hi all,

repeating this post as I got no joy at all in the Operations section - so maybe it was the wrong area?

Got two servers with the same data on (roughly) and need to enable replication.

Both TrueNAS Core 12.0-U1.1

Some jobs will go one way and some the other, so for now happy to set same user accountname and auth on both machines.

Ideally I want this account doing the replication to use the most minimal permissions it requires to do its job.

Yes its easy to set root and forget, but that isn't really what I want - so if anyone can let me know the groups and/or minimal permissions an account will need that would be most helpful.

if anyone else has a similar setup and is willing to share details i'd be most interested - eventually this second server is going offsite (but i have a plan for that).

I will be using SSH obviously, but want to know the minimum required permissions for an account that can replicate data over it and restore the snapshots.

I assume account will be defined in the "ssh connection" or the actual replication job (which uses the ssh connection).

Thanks.
