Hey guys I'm new to FreeNAS and trying to learn it before getting a server running for my company.
Currently testing the last release v9.10.1, I have done the basic first steps beside installation.
I've created a pool then a dataset called "windows_share" (set up with Windows share options)
I created multiple users for testing lets say A + B + C who can access anywhere, D who can access only a few datasets later, and E who can access only is own dataset.
I've created groups following the same purpose (admin, personal, and all_users)
I've created the CIFS Share following the youtube official video from FreeNAS Team ; and mapped it on drive P:
I access it with authentification on any user along with the right password.
Until there everything is working perfectly.
Now coming to permissions settings, I do it as explained in the video straight from Windows.
I can definitely see my share set as intended (owner = root, group = all_users) however when I try to add another group/user, windows won't find any from the ones I've created from FreeNAS web GUI.
Here's a few screenshots from how it looks :
I'm guessing the problem is about the UID/GID mapping but I can't find how it's working on freeNAS.
Any idea please ?
