TrueNAS Core User Permission

[Misinthe]

Hello everyone, I am very new to TrueNAS, I created my Pool and my SMB shares, then I went on my computer and added the share as a Network drive, I selected the "Connect using different credentials" and I used the TrueNAS user I created to sign in. Now, when I try to move or edit files in the SMB Share, I get a "You require permitions from XXXX to make changes to this file" error. Anyone has any idea how I can get this to work? Thank you everyone!

Hey! 

Mods forgive me, but I'm going to suggest a link to a different forum as the Truenas community will be better versed to answer this fully.

Truenas permissions are a pain. I recommend starting by making sure your user folder is the owner of the root of the share. Easiest way to do this is setting your user's home directory as the share. So if your pool name is "Vault" and your shares name is "Share", set your home folder to mnt/Vault/Share. 

 

If you have SSH set up with your user, you can also SSH into your truenas box as your user, then run "ls -al" to see the permissions of all the objects there to see if you set it correctly.

 

Hopefully this helps, but search the truenas forum if that doesn't resolve it as they have a more definitive guide.

Make sure the user you created has write and delete permissions for the share. I think permissions are read-only by default.

I have asked the TrueNAS forums, 6 days without a comment there, that place is dead.

 

This is how I have the permissions set for the Media Access user. It's weird that it lets me put files in but it does not let me edit or remove them.
