Share Permission - Different Settings

[ravenofdoom 2]

I have 4 shared folders that index into Emby.

For permissions, three of them show a single “user or group” listing that includes “Emby” as a distinct item alongside my normal users and I can double-click on it and get very nuanced settings for read and write; however, on one shared folder I have to manually toggle in permissions from “local users” to “system internal users” and see (among dozens of other apps) that Emby has a checkbox corresponding to none/read/write (with read checked).  All 4 shares behave in the same way in Emby but I can’t understand why the permissions behavior / options display is different for one of the shares or how to make it appear like the others. I’m on DSM 7.3 and initially installed Emby on version 7.x.

 

can somebody explain why i see different permission behaviors and how to make them appear the same for the one distinct share.

HI, that's strange.   @FrostBytecan you think of anything?

Take a look — you can clearly see the distinction between the first folder share permissions behavior (TV) that allows for permissions editor when double clicking … as compared with the second (movies) that only has Emby alongside a long list of others. Both folders are indexed and have the same end-user experience / are added into Emby server

nevermind -- figured it out.  It's a weird UNIX quirk where if the folder was created in a legacy format, it needs to be converted to "ACL"  :

 

 

• Open Contrl Panel > Shared folders
• Select afected shared folder
• Click Action button > Convert to Windows ACL
• Follow wizard
