smb permisions question

finsh · 05-20-2009, 02:10 PM

Hi All

I have the folowing setup:
suse server 11
smb
LDAP
my samba authentication is coming from LDAP

I want to give different share permission on the same folder to different
users and/or groups (example: Administration folder is r/w by administration
group, read by Accounting group and no access to any other group)

Thanks

[share_name]
path = /path/to/share
comment = my share
browseable = yes
write list = user1, root, @admingroup
read list = mary, @students, @someothergroup

Just a quicky to make sure I get this right.

the user names come in first and the groups are identified using the @ symbol?

Also, you set the browsable to "yes". if i do this, will all other users be able to browse the share but not open the files in it?

Thanks in advance

YES!

You can specify only users if you want, or only groups, or mix users and some groups depending on your plan for access control.
