Im setting up a server for a non-profit organization and Im having some problems with user permissions.

What Im trying to accomplish: 10 SMB shares on the FreeNAS server, and 8 users who only have access to specific shares.

What I have done so far: Using the wizard I created the 10 SMB shares.

In the owner section for each share, I left the owner as root and created a group with a name that matches the share name.

The problem: Once any of the users inputs their credentials, they have read, and execute permissions to every share regardless of whether they are in the share group or not.

The strange part is that the write permissions work as intended.

I need users to be completely denied access to shares that they werent added to.

I read up on how to do this in the guide built into FreeNAS and I dont know what Im doing wrong.

The client computer that I was testing the permissions on was running Windows 7, but they will be getting all new computers with W10 on them soon.

What I do here. I have one main group called Staff that every single user I create is a part of.

I always do parents first hence why I always click Replace all child object permissions Yes.

Then hit OK again.

DONE now only marlene can open this folder everyone else will be told they cannot.
