[Samba] smb.conf: per group config for multiple group environment
I have 2 groups of users: sales and support. In my samba server, I create 2 shares: sales_share and support_share. I want to make: - sales_share available to sales group but not support group. - support_share available to support group but not sales group. First, I try to config sales_share: [sales_share] path = /mnt/sales valid users = @sales force group = sales read only = No available = No include = /etc/samba/%G.conf I create file /etc/samba/sales.conf as follow: available = Yes I restart smb service and try on Windows PC, login as sales user and I can access to sales_share. Login as support user and the sales_share is not available. So far so good. I then create support_share: [support_share] path = /mnt/support valid users = @support force group = support read only = No available = No include = /etc/samba/%G.conf and create file /etc/samba/support.conf as follow: available = Yes Restart the smb service but the outcome: - sales_share is available to sales and support group - support_share is available to sales and support group How may I configure samba share to allow per group config if I have multiple groups? -- Best regards, Chau Chee Yang
