Description

I would like users to be able to mount Samba shares and be able to read/write to the. I am able to mount

mkdir /mnt/Share
mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass,user,noauto //SambaServer/Share /mnt/Share

Once navigated to the mounted directory, all files display. However editing, modifying, deleting, and creating files are impossible.

ls -l of /mnt/

Shows that /mnt/Share is owned by root with 755 permissions.
sudo cp <file> /mnt/Share

(Successful Write as root)

This task can be done by editing the /etc/fstab
//SambaServer/Share /mnt/Share cifs username=user,password=pass,user,noauto

Make sure to add the noauto and user options.
  • noauto sets the share to not automatically mount at boot time.
  • user allows users to mount the share

And now try to mount the share as the normal user.
