UPDATE! The contents of this how-to has been moved to the resources section of this forum.
Please see https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/freenas-and-samba-cifs-permissions-video.8/ for updates. This thread can be used to discuss the videos.
Mod note: This is now an official XenForo discussion thread, so you can just use the tabs above to navigate to the Resource proper.

This is a topic that keeps coming up, new users get confused with a multitude of different options when configuring a Samba (CIFS) share in FreeNAS. Today, I've created a video demonstrating how to set-up a Samba share which can be accessed by multiple users, allowing each user to read/write to the dataset.
Hopefully some of you will find this useful, while others may not, simply because you're already doing things right and don't need help on this topic. I'm happy to take feedback and criticism. It's not a perfect video, it's not intended to be, it's just my personal way on how to achieve the goal.
(Also apologies, I may talk a lot in this video. I've tried to keep it as short as possible).

I've finally got around to making a second video. This time I talk about advanced Samba permissions and how to manage them though Windows Explorer (I do ramble on again in this video, sorry.).
