Samba share issues

Ok so I am sharing files on an ubuntu server via samba. My problem is windows 10 rejects my main user when I login to the server even they are a sudoer and I have added them to the samba list using the smbpasswd -a -G USERNAME command. It only accepts the second account I created who is also a sudoer and in the samba list of acceptable users. I am using plex to share the video files I am putting into it but since the movies were already there when I mounted the partition they belong to the main user. This means that plex cannot access any of the files that the secondary user adds because I installed it under the main user. 

 

They are also both in a sudoer group that I think I properly added to samba.

 

please help I have no idea where to go from here .

If I recall correctly you need to have the users accessing th file added as a valid user in the smb.conf file, so make sure about that.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

You put @users which if I rembeber correctly should allow all users to access it. I don't know that much about samba and that just popped into my head as a possibility so yeah, I can't really help anymore :/

selinux was my issue

this is what i had to use to get it to work correctly. for centos 7 i know commands can differ some . a quick and dirty way is to disable selinux and if the samba share works then its selinux if not something else ant setup 

  

setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1 samba_export_all_rw=1
getsebool -a | grep samba_export
semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t "/SHARENAME(/.*)?"
restorecon /SHARENAME

 

then 

systemctl restart smb
systemctl restart nmb
