File permission service acc vs. permissions set in FrontView
I came to place where I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong and before I throw here wall of text with my config I have a question. As far as I know Sabnzbd, SickBeard and CouchPotato are running on...

In most cases I'd recommend the following:
1. All users are members of the same primary group (eg "users" - the default)
2. Add users to secondary groups as required (eg RW and RO)
3. Control access to the share via the secondary groups in the upper half of the CIFS tab
4. Setup group permissions to read/write in the lower half of the CIFS tab
5. Set all permissions in the Advanced options tab to Read/Write (the default)
With the above, all users with Read/Write access rights to the share can access eachothers files. Everyone else gets read-only access
This doesn't address the issue of files created by the admin user - but that is a different topic that needs addressing separately
