Combine smb and iscsi?

Might help to just start with a very simple empty share. Create users and groups (you’ll need to add them in TrueNAS UI). Try accessing the share from another computer on the network using the username/passwords you created.

Once you have multiple users set up and verify they can access the share at all, then try creating folders in the share and play with the permissions. Give a user or group access, make sure they are the only ones that can access it, and others are denied.

Might also help to find a video or tutorial on how permissions work for Linux.

If you run into a road block, just tell us what problem you’re running into.

Ignore quotas, scsi, and all the ancillary stuff for now and just focus on a share, users, permissions. Once you get the hang of permissions, the rest will be pretty easy.

I’m assuming you mean go from pool, dataset, then go to share. I tend to miss the obvious occasionally. Those videos don’t tend to interface well with my thought processes.
(Same problem in school, but being a bit conceptually untetherd has always worked for me.)

This won’t make any sense to anyone else, but if I get too mentally fixated on something I’m doing, it can trigger an eliptic contition where I lose a period of time. This means I need to do something mundane for a while to refocus my thoughts. This just happened…I’m used to it.

The funny and scary thing is people around me don’t even detect anything abnormal while my short-term memory is shutdown.

I’ll let this TrueNAS project simmer until tomorrow.
