Hey! I am a super newbie at this so hopefully this is an easy fix. I am running Truenas core and I have a single pool, when I was setting it up a few years back I decided that I wanted two users so that I could potentially share the nas with others in my family. I haven't ended up being able to share it but now half of my files are under one user and half are under the other. They are both in the same group but I am not able to get them to be able to edit each others files. Because I am the only on who uses this is there a way for me to safely and recursivly tell truenas to let everyone access and edit everything? I am not able to edit permissions for the pool, it is greyed out because it is the root dataset. Is there a way I can just reset all the permissions on all of my files and let every user access and edit everything? Thank you so much for your help!

Never share the entire pool. That's the cause of your problems. Create a dataset and share that. Move the files ...
Once I do that and I change the permissions to that dataset recursively to allow everyone to edit will I be in danger of losing access to files like the warning says? Thank you so much!

The warning says you might lose access if you set the permissions wrong. All depends very much on your users, groups and the exact permissions you are intending to set.
I will try it then! Thank you so much for your patience and help!
