Please help I’m kind of new here

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Samba installed. How do I make partitions/drives assigned to a different SMB user? I want everyone in my household to have their own 25GB share with privacy. What do I put in smb.conf to make this work?

You need to add the users and set them up in samba first.

 

Then you can setup permissions and shares, so each user has access to certian folders.

 

Id just have them all share the same space, but if you need to limit size, id use quota in your filesystem.

How TF do I do that!? I can make shares, partitions, and users but how do I set permissions on specific users?

 

(sorry if I sound pissed right now its just because why not)

use chown to change the owner or a file, and chmod to change the permissions of the file.

 

Take a look at man pages an tutorials for help.
