Hello, 
Something I've been wrestling with for quite a while and have never been able to solve. 
 
I have a folder which contains 2 nested folders on a Samba server: 
MainFolder 
- NestedA 
- NestedB. 
 
I need three user groups: 
GroupMain, GroupA, GroupB. &nbsp; 
 
What I need is to have the MainFolder open to everyone, 
&quot;NestedA&quot; accessible only to GroupA, 
and the folder &quot;NestedB&quot; only accessible to GroupB. 
 
No matter what I do, it seems as though the permissions for MainFolder are inherited to all subfolders. &nbsp;GroupMain still has access to the subfolders even when I created the extra 2 shares in samba for NestedA and NestedB. 
 
I'm not exactly sure if it's a Samba issue or a Linux permission issue. 
Is it possible to restrict access to a certain group on a subfolder in SAMBA? 
 
Thanks. 
 
Frank M.

Groups and Nested folders.

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
