TN Scale, setup syncthing for SMB share

Running dragonfish 24.04.2

As noted, I’m trying to setup syncthing so I can sync a set of SMB shared folders. When I install and configure syncthing, it keeps setting “apps” for the permissions. (Which then nukes the SMB access - because it makes “apps” the group/owner and wipes all the other perms)

So, what’s the magic set of ACL permissions that will allow syncthing access to the folders, while maintaining the SMB access.

Lets assume that the SMB user/groups should be.
User: SomUser
Group: SomGroup

And that user and group should have full access.
I assume I’ll need to add some other user/group so that syncthing can access it too.

Lets assume the path is
/mnt/zfs-data/some-data/ [There are several folders underneath this point that we’ll want both syncthing and SMB to be able to access.]

I’ve tried a bunch of different things, but I haven’t managed to find the right combination. Perhaps this should be obvious, but it sure hasn’t been obvious so far.

TIA

Have set my SMB folder as additional storage in the official truenas syncthing app without checking any of the boxes in that selection.

In the dataset, permisions user is set to “apps” (full control) which works for me and my user name is set as owner (full control) and also the group is set (modify).

Also did not delete any of the “built_in” users. Maybe the nesting of folders might be the permissions issue and wouldn’t know how to set those.
