SOLVED Only domain admins can see symbolic links.

[ArcticRevrus]

Using freenas 9.2.1.8 with cifs shares using Active Directory Domain Services, only users that are part of the "domain admins" group are able to see symbolic links in my shares, while standard domain users can not see any symbolic links.. I am trying to set up a directory structure like the following
//server/PCompany/Legal
-Company1 (symlinked to Company1/Legal)
-Company2 (symlinked to Company2/Legal)
-Company3 (symlinked to Company3/Legal)
//server/Company1/Legal
//server/Company2/Legal
//server/Company3/Legal

I am doing the symbolic links at the filesystem level from the freenas box itself, not from one share to another from a client machine.

Link to smb4.conf paste.

I do have
unix extensions = no
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
in the config.

EDIT:

This has been self resolved. Aparantly the user needs read access to the share that the symlink destination is on. Please close the thread

In general, if you are using NFSv4 ACLs, users need "read attributes" and/or "read extended attributes" atomic privileges for file / folder in order for it to be visible a Samba share.
