Here is a good way to set up users and groups with permissions on FreeNAS<\/a>.\u00a0 This how-to assumes that you have the FreeNAS server set up properly and that you have mounted your various drives’ and set up the directories you need.\u00a0 Start by creating your own user account and joining it to the ‘wheel’ group. You should be the only user in that group.<\/p>\n

In this example I am going to create a user that can access the ‘NAS_downloads’ directory with read\/write\/execute permissions (rwx) that is owned by ‘root’ and which the public has no access to.\u00a0 Go into the FreeNAS web browser and create the group ‘media’ and add your media user to it. Next, we are going to give ‘root’ ownership of all files on our ‘\/mnt ‘ drives:<\/p>\n
