TrueNAS Multi-user SMB Share Issues

Software & Web Applications

Hi all, I am running into an issue with TrueNAS Scale with a multi-user SMB share. Some background data:

  • I have a group “editors” with many users.
  • I have a dataset “videos” with the owner set to the user “root” and the group “editors”.

When user 1 creates a new folder on the share, the folder persmissions are “user1:editors drwxrwx—+”, but user 2 cannot add any files in that folder.

If I then go in the TrueNAS UI and “Apply Group” + “Apply permissions recursively”, then user 2 can now add files to the folder, but the folder permissions are identical as before “user1:editors drwxrwx—+”.

Any thoughts on why this would be happening? I have made sure that the “editors” have FULL access in the SMB ACL Entries for the share and the group “editors” also owns the dataset and all sub-folders/sub-files in the dataset

If you create a new dataset called something like “Test” and choose the SMB preset it will also create the permissions properly for the Group -builtin_administrators. You can use that as an example to make sure the permission for that group are set up the same way and as you could confirm that user A can create a file and user B can delete that file to make sure your not finding some other bug.
