[Samba] subdirectories with different permissions

Several users keep asking for a similar setup, and I'm wondering if 
there's a way to achieve it with a single samba share.


They'll ask for a single share drive the has multiple subdirectories 
with each subdirectory having different permissions based on groups.

So say you have a share called COLOURS and inside that share are three 
subdirectories, RED, GREEN and BLUE.

Group1 should have RW access to everything, and Group2 should have RW to 
RED, Read-only to GREEN and no access to BLUE.


I typically will just create three shares for them (RED, GREEN and BLUE) 
and provide access accordingly - as I don't think there's another way.  
If there's a way to achieve this, please let me know.

Thanks,

Matt.
