Hi all,
Hoping I can get a little guidance on media share permissions and plex.
Current system:
FreeNAS-9.10.1-U2
Plex Media Server:
1.1.4.2757
My main media folder is set to /mnt/VOL1/Plex Media.
I have created a CIFS share, and set the owner to my "admin" user, and the group to my "admin" group.
I have added the storage to the Plex jail, and plex sees the media just fine.
However... I found that the media share permissions are set so "Everyone" can view the share. I would prefer not to have the share viewable to "Everyone".
A few questions I have:
1. From my windows client, I can go to the share and edit the security. I can remove the "everyone" permissions, however, then the Plex server cannot see the share. What would be a good way to allow the Plex server to see the share without "Everyone" existing in permissions? Do I need to create the "plex" user and group (id 972) and set them as primary owner? ....or something similar to this?
2. Whenever I go into the FreeNAS volume and set / verify permissions, the "Everyone" entry is re-added to the share. I don't understand where this is coming from. Is there some sort of default setter (or otherwise) that specifies that "everyone" is added to shares with read permissions?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
