1. Navigate to the Shares page in Frontview.
2. Click on any of the access icons for that share, i.e. the icon under Win, NFS, etc.
3. Click on the Advanced Options tab.
4. Set the "Share folder owner" and "Share folder group" to the appropriate values. In Share mode, the owner should be the name of the share. Whichever user and group these boxes contain will become the owner and group of the files and folders in the share.
5. Set the appropriate permissions in the "rights" dropdowns. The contents of the share will have their ownerships and permissions reset to these settings.
6. Check the "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders..." setting. Note that this will replace the ownership and permissions settings of all files and folders in the share.
7. Click Apply.
Note that on page reload, the "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders..." checkbox will no longer be checked. This is expected behavior and it is set on a per-use basis.
