I suggested those lines because of this line:

wins support = yes

That line is only useful if you are using SMBv1 and the version of
Samba provided by Ubuntu 20.04 (4.13.3) has SMBv1 turned off by
default.

You can place your shares anywhere you like, however, '/media' is
usually meant for the system to mount things like CD's on. I would use
'/srv', but you must ensure that the directory permissions allow the
Samba users access.

Have you created the Unix users as Samba users ?
Do these users have the required permissions on the share ? You can set
whatever permissions you like in the share, but if the underlying
permissions do not allow access, then the user will not get access.
