Proper Permissions for AD Admins and Owner

Hi, this is my first time posting an issue and requesting help so please bear with me.

My agency is attempting to pull away from Windows, our next step was to find a replacement for a fileserver that was lightweight.

I have NAS4Free installed, I have my Share Created.

Share 1 = /mnt/Storage/NAS Storage - This is an Open folder for anyone to be able to drop into. I have this one figured out.

Share 2 = /mnt/Storage/Profiles - I would like to configure this so that inside the profiles folder an AD user will map a drive and create its own My Documents Share. This part I have done, AD is working, making my shares. What I am confused on is how I can make the user profile folder inside /mnt/Storage/Profiles/ only accessible by Domain Admins and the individual user.

I am hoping NAS4Free is capable of this through automation, however I am not opposed to going in and setting permissions via cli for these folders, however I am not proficient enough in linux to do this, and I have yet to find anything on google that directly relates to what I need.


Thanks,

Chris

try setting the admin user using the aux parameter on the share.

I apologize but that doesn't seem to help with what I need.

My problem is not getting appropriate permissions to /mnt/Storage/Profiles, which is my actual Share. My problems are directories that AD creates in for example /mnt/Storage/Profiles/"NASUserProfile".

I wouldn't be able to setup permissions to my Profiles Share itself through the Aux Parameter. Unless I completely misunderstand the way the file structures work. I'm pretty comfortable with Linux, unfortunately I'm just not as advanced as I wish I was when it came to permissions, especially AD permissions.
