Accessing Data Directory on OS6

So Prior to OS6 one was able to access the C directory in root with the admin account.

I see that in OS6 there is no "C" but a "Data" and cannot be accessed from windows.

How would one edit the permissions of the folder so that it could be accessed from windows?

OK easy enough just added the below to /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf

[Data]
path = /data
comment = "Data"
guest ok = 0
force create mode = 0666
create mask = 0666
force directory mode = 0777
directory mask = 0777
admin users = "admin","Administrator"
writeable = 1
follow symlinks = 1
wide links = 1

Hmmm ok I didn't think about permissions, anyone with an account on the NAS can now access /Data...
How would I change the permissions so that only admin can access the share via samba?
