Hi, I have a home network and created a SMB share for family members called “Personal” and each family member has their own folder. I have a group with read rights to all folders and each subfolder has the owner’s User with FULL permissions. I wanted to give myself full rights to everyone’s folders as an admin. I edited my son’s ACL to add myself with read, write, execute privileges. I could see his files but as read only. I thought maybe the permissions simply didn’t get applied, so I tried editing the ACL again, but checking Apply Recursively. Now I can’t even access his folder. What should I do now?
I had it working but I’m not sure I understand the permissions inheritance correctly. Here’s the folder structure I want.
Personal Home Share
–Group Folder1
–Group Folder2
–User1 Share
–User2 Share
Users should have read/write access to the Home and Group folders and only the named user should have read/write access to his User# folder. The SMB_Admins group should have full access to everything.
I’ve tried to set is up this way with the Posix system, but now I’ve lost all access to the folders when I made changes. Please advise what to do.
I figured it out. The Mask was set to none. I checked the read/write/execute boxes and now everything is working.
