Through frontview, select Shares, then Share Listing on the left menu. Then click on the CIFS icon for the share. If you scroll down, you will see a "advanced cifs permission" section.
-check the box next to "Automatically set permissions on new files and folders."
-Set the group rights to "read/write"
-If the users are in different groups, set "everyone" to read/write
then click the apply button at the bottom. This should solve your problem for new files.
Next, you need to solve it for the existing files. Select the "advanced options" tab at the top right. You will see a "advanced share permission" section.
-Set "Share folder owner" to nobody
-Set the "Share folder group" to the group the users are in. (If you didn't set this up, set it to nogroup).
-Set "Share folder owner rights" to read/write
-Set "Share folder group rights" to read/write
If users are in different groups, set "Share folder everyone rights" to read/write
Click apply at the bottom. This starts a background task to reset the file access permissions for all the files in the group. Frontview will display a popup when it is done.
Thanks, This I will try this weekend :D
