FreeNAS permissions

[Deleted member 651465]

Hey all,

Can someone check this permissions configuration, as I want to do it properly before ripping all my Blurays to the server.

I want Daniel to have full access to all datasets, whilst restricting Amy access to just her dataset. Obviously, I could create a special group for her, but it seemed easier to just set up the wheel group as the owner of everything and assigning Daniel as part of the wheel group.

She won't need access to the media dataset, so this puts Daniel in control of everything whilst limiting her? Makes sense to me, but I'd be interested in your thoughts

User 1
Name: Daniel
Primary group: Wheel

User 2
Name: Amy
Primary group: nogroup

Volume
Owner: nobody
Group: nogroup

Dataset 1 (Amy)
Owner: Amy
Group: Wheel

Dataset 2 (Daniel)
Owner: Daniel
Group: Wheel

Dataset 3 (Media)
Owner: nobody
Group: wheel

Yes I think that looks fine.

Personally I don't like to use the wheel group and I'd set up a group for each dataset and leave root as the owner (except dataset 1), but that's probably needlessly complicated.
