Hello List,
I am relatively new to Samba. I've recently installed an instance on
our server (local authentication, utilizing libpam-smbpass), and have
successfully created a number of employee accounts. The setup we're
going for is to give all employees access to a general "projects" folder
(all have access to all items in the share), but with the ability to
give piecemeal access to subfolders within this share to non-employees.
For example, if we need to hire a contractor, we'd like to be able to
give them an account, such that:
(DENIED) \\server\projects share
(ALLOWED) \\server\projects\funproject
In the context of Windows-dialogs, (among many other details I've tried)
I've set the permissions on the \\server\projects share such that only
members of the employee have access:
Group or user names (for \\server\projects):
- employee (Unix User\employee)
- employee (SERVER\employee)
I thought it would be as simple as then adding a contractor's username
to a subfolder:
Group or user names (for \\server\projects\funproject):
- employee (Unix User\employee)
- employee (SERVER\employee)
- somecontractor (SERVER\somecontractor)
and somecontractor has modify access. However, when I try to map that
as a network drive ... no luck.
Map Network Drive
Z: -> \\server\projects\funproject (with: somecontractor/password)
Any insights much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin
