Change Permission in ZFS

[za3tar]

Hi there,

I'm new in NAS4Free, but I have little bit knowledge about freeNAS 8,
this is my setting in NAS4Free,
1- NAS4Free 64 bit, last update
2- Dell Desktop
3- 3x1TB HDD configure as single parity raid z

I need help to create datasets with permissions: "I would like to creat dataset with permission for user1, dataset with permission for user2"
and user1 can't access dataset for user2???

how can I do this??

thanks

You need to understand how unix permision works, please google a bit, there are thousand of web pages that explain this.

Hi there,

As I told you I have some knowledge in freenas 8,
I made it with freenas 8 and it was very easy, but when I go to NAS4free I can't do it..

in the documentation there is no explanation for this,
So please tel me how, I don't know anything about unix...

thanks

your answer is the chown and chmod command. If I have a user called sjordan who is in the group users and I want him to have full access to /mnt/tank0/sjordan I would do the following:
chown sjordan:users /mnt/tank0/sjordan

This is assuming the user dir permissions is set to rwx. I highly suggest you do a quick search on chown and chmod to learn how they work. Once you understand it it is really easy.

Dear sjordan,

thanks for explanation.. what I want to know in freeNAS 8 I do the setting and the permission from FreeNAS GUI,
how to do the same thing in NAS4Free from GUI..

I know that from shell I can do many configuration, Do I have to learn unix shell to do the configuraion in NAS4Free, so why is the GUI????

thanks again..

You can change rwx permision on GUI from: Advanced | Filemanager (quickexplorer), but can't change owner.

PD: To change permision login like root. ( you can use qickexplorer to create, folders or copy / move files between pools or folders in the same NAS).

Enable ssh + root access from the SSH service.

Login to the server via ssh (use something like putty if your'e on windows)

type a chown command in the following format:

chown -R <user>:<group> <pool>/<dataset>

For example:

chown -R someuser:ftp tank/data

Dear odedia,
I appreciate your help,

Used to think you could change owners within Filezilla. The ability is there but the FreeNAS (and it follows N4F) system (or is it specifically FreeBSD?) would not let you change owners. I think the CLI is the only way.

I've always learned that the best "book" is a simple google search. Just type what you're trying to achieve and you'll get your answer. try googling:

linux change permissions
linux change file owner

You'll get guides like this:
