Permission Structure: How to achieve?

TrueNAS General

Hey everyone,

quick question:

I have a dataset as smb share simply named “share”.
Beneath it are different folders, however, I want some of these folders hidden to some users. SMB permissions can only be set for the entire dataset, so how can I achieve what I want? e.g.: Folder1 should be visible to users A and B, while Folder2 should only be visible to User A.

Thank you in advance

Regards

Raine

Sounds like you may need ACL’s. It may be doable with Unix permissions, but likely to be more of a pain in the neck.

ACL on SMB level or dataset level?

For simplicity I’d create two datasets with different permissions and share them out separately. Alternatively you could create the parent dataset allowing users of a group transverse and then via a Windows client create and apply different permission groups per folder.
