Users cannot write in other users directories

[Pemmi]

Hi,
All out of the sudden our users is not allowed to write in directories made by other users, which is not ideal in our scenario. I googled a lot, and found that stripping ACLs for the pool and using unix access control should simplify everything. So I did that, but users still cannot write in others directories/folders.

I have a 2 users in a group, that has read/write access (the group has read/write access). Admin is owner. (users are not admins).

I’ve added rules recursively and traverse, no change.
What am I missing?

Setup: 12tb. “main” pool with basic settings, and of cause encryption. In that, I have datasets wich hold the directories mentioned. I use SMB, and users/clients are MacOS 15 M2 (arm) users.

I anybody has any suggestion it will be much appreciated as I am stuck here. Thanks!

So, it was working properly

Then nothing changed

and then it was not working?

Reboot and then document the hardware, software version and permissions… its likely that you have made a mistake, but no-one can see without properly documenting the configs.

Thanks, yes your are right.
How would I properly document my settings here?
Reboot etc. was my first attempt, no luck

Screenshots and details,

You need to help one of the smart guys troubleshoot… its really only possible if they have all the relevant info,

Current New User status. You may need to browse some other threads and take the tutorial to get your status to Basic User and be able to post pictures.

Sure, they are here:

Both users are part of the same group?

If that is the case, neither user needs to be the owner… since both users have the same group permissions.

Perhaps create a dummy dataset and test until you see the issue…

Did you update something? Might be TN itself or an app that has access to these datasets.

[Pemmi]

Yes, they are both members of the same group.
I added them as owners also, as part of error-searching.
I added the settings (saved) 3 times yesterday, and after the 3rd time it startet working actually.

But the correct setting would be to remove “user” permissions, and add only “Group → read+write” - right?

Thanks for getting back to me!

Also my first thought, but no, no updates within this error-timeline.
