After upgrade to Scale can't install apps

So I upgraded to Scale after a core meltdown of sorts and trying to install Plex to reconnect my 6tb of media and getting this error:

The root dataset of pool Backups is used by SMB services. Shares should be configured so that they export data contained in child datasets such as Backups/SHARE.

Happens on all 3 of my pools.
But I checked the settings and data sets are set to share correctly as they did before meltdown in core.
Any help please. Still trying to figure out Scale after years of using core.

It wants the shared datasets to be like the following example. Snips are from a Core machine. It wants your data share(s) set up like BU2 example

Shay is my root (Parent dataset) and pool. BU2 is the child dataset created just for SMB sharing.

smbuser is a user created for sharing and is the owner of BU2

Ok thank you for the help.
But unfortunately I was able to update to Scale so those don’t help me.
Scale doesn’t even show the pools easily like core.
but I did find SMB

Sure it does; go to Storage on the left sidebar.

…and your screen shot illustrates your problem: you’re sharing the entire Backups pool. This hasn’t ever been a recommended configuration, but it’s only been more recently that TrueNAS stopped you from creating such a config.

You’ll need to change this for at least one of your pools in order to be able to use the apps system, and you really should change it for all of them.

You might need to change the owner and group for those folders as ‘root’ isn’t allowed to share SMB by default. I can’t check the ‘admin’ user on Scale but I would think it is set the same

Sorry still getting used to layout.

Ok so I created a shared group Family and added all my created users.
Then edited ACL.
As so-


did I miss something as it still isn’t working?

I didn’t see anywhere in there where you changed the share to share only a dataset from your pool, rather than the whole pool–which is what both I and @SmallBarky have been saying you need to do.

Go to Shares on the left sidebar, and edit your SMB Share(s) to point to a dataset rather than the whole pool:

ok got it. Was missing the share dataset spot.
My bad. been a long to many hours.
Thank you for the help.
