Hello everyone,
I’m having trouble with the authorizations. I have 2 Share Sharenvme & ShareSATA with 2 users fileadmin and User1. The fileadmin should have rights to all shares, the user1 only to his share. User1 only sees his own share, which is correct. Where can I set the authorization so that fileadmin has rights everywhere?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Novell1,
I normally recommend using groups to assign permissions and then add users to those groups.
I would create a users group (called whateveryoulike) and a admin group (likewise). Then assign your users to those groups where appropriate.
Therefore assuming we are talking SMB I would create an SMB dataset and assign both the ‘users group’ and ‘admin group’ access via the ACL. I normally give users modify access and admins full control.
Leave the owner and group owner defaults as root and remove any of the other entries in the ACL you don’t need (most likely all of them). Then create an SMB share with the defaults.
PS: If working with local users you can use the ‘builtin_administrators’ group and assign your admin user to that group and use that as your admin group for the ACL.
