Can anybody please help me understand permissions in more depth. I have troubles accomplishing what I think should be easy to do.
My Setup:
How would I do this the best and easiest way? Is there a good how to for Mac users I should read before asking more detailed questions?

My Setup:
- I have two Mac Notebooks running Mavericks (OS X 10.9) and I expect more Macs with latest Mac OS in the next few months to join in. All Macs are used by one family member each.
- Macs backup using Time Machine to FreeNAS on individual AFP shares. For this I created individual users for each Time Machine dataset.
- There are no Windows machines (and will not be). I do not run a directory server and I do not intend to put home shares on the FreeNAS box.
- One common family share on my FreeNAS box must be available to all Macs / users.
- Users must be able to work with their own files and folders.
- Users must be able to modify file and folder permissions of their own stuff to grant or revoke access to other users.
- All activities must be possible using the Mac Finder.
- Users should be able to read files and folders of other users by default and to check who owns files and folders on the share.
- Users should not be required to handle different identities for FreeNAS, especially not for using Time Machine as well as a family share. I can work around this however.
