This is my samba share:

And this is my pool that I was editing (on the NAS1 level) in the GUI:

The edit ACL button worked until I saved the ACL with user root as owner and group wheel.

Right. The ACL editor won't let you modify permissions /mnt/NAS1, but it will allow you to modify /mnt/NAS1/NAS1.

Yes, the ACL editor in the GUI allowed me to change the ACL (to root/wheel wrongfully) of the Pool (/mnt/NAS1/NAS1) and now it's not possible anymore to change it back. That's why I was asking about a console command to do what I can't in the GUI anymore.

I was following the Setting Up ACLs (for Samba shares) in this guide: https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/users-permissions-acls-on-freenas/

And somehow my noob brain thought that no specific user should own this pool, but root.

/mnt/NAS1/NAS1 shouldn't be a pool. You can change owner using "chown". chown smbuser /mnt/NAS1.

Can you elaborate on why /mnt/NAS1/NAS1 shouldn't be a pool? If I remember correctly I just named the SMB share NAS1 and the pool NAS1 too, so that's why the path is now NAS1/NAS1, right (smbshare/pool)? Sorry, I'm still learning.

Okay and chown user /mnt/NAS1 will let me edit the ACL again?

OMG, I realized that I made the changes in the Pools overview? It seems I was confused. Thanks for your help. Going to read some more documentation to grasp the authorization issues.
