I have a problem I have so far not been able to find answers for on google, maybe because I am unfamiliar with terminology.

Is there a way for me to have a remote user from windows create files/folder on an ubuntu server that will give the permissions shareuser:smbgroup as oppossed to shareuser:shareuser?

  • I have an Ubuntu server (20.04 updated daily) running Samba version 4.11.6-Ubuntu. I am not using active directory at all
  • I have a directory that I share
  • I set up this directory to have group read/write permissions for the “smbgroup”
  • I made a user called “shareuser” to be a part of this group.

My problem is that I connect to the shared directory through a windows 10 (Build 1909) machine (no domain just the generic workgroup “workgroup” and everytime I make a file on the server through windows 10, the file/folder gets created as the sharesuser user, but instead of the smbgroup it gets created under the shareuser group (shareuser:shareuser).
