cifs mount with folder permissions?
I would like to mount a windows drive and create folder permission based on the user name.
The folder is a drive named /users and each subfolder is a user name.
On the linux side, I would like each folder to have rwx permission for the user and only rx permission for
other users.
Currently, I do a cifs mount configured in the fstab as follows:
//linuxsystem/users /mounts/users cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials
This mounts the windows systems with all users having rwx on all folders.
No changes are possible with chmod or chown.
How can I fix this?

Try
//linuxsystem/users /mounts/users cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,noperm,uid=10004,gid=10004,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0
it is unix uid and gid
so change uid=0,gid=(?users?),perm=0
mount accesses share with credentials from .cifscredentials, and users according to permissions in fstab.

Thanks. Changes to fstab are not working. They give every
user rw access to every directory. I want each user to only
have rw to their own directory.

So each user must give up their password....
You can try changing the file_mode or dir_mode option to 700. Can you provide the output of the permission?
//linuxsystem/users /mounts/users cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,noperm,uid=10004,gid=10004,file_mode=0700,dir_mode=0700 0 0Linux
