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!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

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

I got it. I had to change other permissions to 0775. Is there any hazard in doing that?
