After both PC and NAS turned off during the night, I tried the following:
- removed credentials from windows, logoff and login to reset shares access permissions
- created a new test_user member of the group family as below
- the actual groups{members}: users{ja} - family{test_user, enfants, ma}
- created a share "test_share"
- test_share: user_owner: ja (r/w) - group_owner: users (r/w)
- test_share groups and users permissions: ja:r/w - admin:r/w - users:r/w - guest:0 - family:0 - test_user:0, enfants:0, ma:0
0 means no read access, that is cannot mount
Now, both under Windows and Android acces: all members of the family group has r/w permissions despite they should not even be able to mount as per their permissions
If I remove all permissions (no mount) from the group users, I can setup proper permissions for all members of the family group
If I revoke group_owner permissions, users of the group family loose their access whatever I select for them
There are also near similar reports in the forum, one of them here:
Here's the content of the samba.conf for share2: it sounds no issues in the file and no members of the family group are included
[share2] path = /data/share2 comment = "" admin users = "+admin","Administrator" write list = "ja","@users","+admin","Administrator" valid users = "ja","@users","+admin","Administrator" follow symlinks = 1
Please, some moderator/technician provide help to fix these permissions issues

In complement to the detailed last post:
when I run in SSH this command:
root@RNDU2000-1:~# id -a enfants
uid=102(enfants) gid=101(family) groups=101(family)root@RNDU2000-1:~# id -a ma
uid=101(ma) gid=101(family) groups=101(family)which sounds right. They ar eclearly not parts of the group users
So the issue is in relation to a bug at kernel/os level
