Bear with me, I'm a long time Windows developer, I'm looking for a layman's explanation.
I need to have the ability to assign directory permissions to multiple users. Is this the correct approach?
1. Create Linux groups, assign various users to the various groups.
2. Change the directory group owner to one of those groups, assigning proper permissions.
3. Map Samba users to Linux users.
4. Set up the directories as shares.
5. When a Windows client connects to the Samba server with a user account, they will be allowed access to directories in which they are the owner, or which they are a member of a group which is a group owner??? Nothing special needs to occur for the client log in to a specific group??? When I mean is if a user account has primary group of A, but directory B has group of C, if the user account in in group C, does anything special need to be done?
