TrueNAS permssions

Hi,

I have a hardtime to wrap my head around permission structures.
I’ve done some research via google, youtube eg lawrence system etc so the system up and running but I feel the permission part is a mess.

My first request would be a “simple” guide to understand how permissions work on sub-folders/datasets and ACL where i mainly use had used POSTIX but changed to NFSv4 due to earlier issues with app filebrowser permissions.

Example is my application dataset, where of I cannot create new sub-datasets in “Applications” so I had to create “Apps”.

-Utilities (U:root G:root)

–Applications (POSTIX U:apps G:apps)
—Plex (POSTIX U:apps G:apps)

–Apps (NFSv4 U:root G:root)
—filebrowser (NFSv4 U:root G:root)
—Jellyfin (NFSv4 U:root G:root)
—piehole (NFSv4 U:root G:root)
—rsync (NFSv4 U:root G:root)

–VMs (POSTIX U:root G:root)

Hey, @mushroom. Thanks for the feedback! We will create a simple permissions guide to complement our other permissions articles.
