I need a way to share a subfolder in an existing share with a user that is not in the owning group of said share. I know how to do it with samba, but I have read that I cannot edit the config in NS, so how can this be accomplished.
Share1 - read/write access group1@domain.com
Share1/sub/sub2 - need access to “sub2” by user2, who is not, and cannot be in group1.
You may use a custom template:
Create the directory for the custom template:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/samba/smb.conf
Create the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/samba/smb.conf/91custom and put the needed share configuration there.
After expand-template /etc/samba/smb.conf your configuration should have been added to /etc/samba/smb.conf.
To apply the config and restart the relevant services:
signal-event nethserver-samba-update
Thank you , works great.
I assume there is no way to see this is the Shared Folders section in the front end, at least as a reminder that the share is there, if not editable?
You may try
https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=module:sambastatus
It shows the status of the shares like connected users so it may act as reminder that a share exists.
