OS6 home folder access rights reset

I am moving data from an NV+ v2 to RN214 via an external backup (USB3), as I need to reuse the drives from NV+.
I have set up the shares and user home folders, and used a backup job to restore the data. Data coming across just fine, but I cannot figure out how to reset access rights and ownership in the home folders from the web UI (like you can with shares).
Via ssh, I see as ownership of files/folders after restore is root:root. I could use chown to fix, but I am not sure if this is how OS6 manages access rights entirely, or if there are other intertangled mechanisms with BTRFS in use, etc.
I also read the only thread I found on home folders / backup / restore, it was from 6 years ago, but it was only a related type of problem and didn't help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

chown should take care of it assumoing you actually created the shares by creating the users and then either logging them in or using mkhomedir_helper. You cannot create a proper user folder by letting a backup restore create it.

Re: OS6 home folder access rights reset
Thanks @Sandshark, yes I used the mkhomedir_helper to create the home directories, I was just checking that this was a valid approach with OS6.
