Help setting RW permissions of Plex Library on Ubuntu 18.04 w/Windows

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Running Ubuntu 18.04. Plex Server is up and running. I have a zfs pool running and mounted (as far as i can tell). Plex Server and Pool initially established using FreeNas, but was too limiting. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on USB SSD and installed Plex Server. Ubuntu recognized the zfs pool and I’ve been able to get the Plex Server up and running with the Movies that previously existed on the original zfs pool.

I have some directories on the zfs pool that I want to share with Windows (mostly to allow me to rip directly from Windows to the zfs pool where I store movies). This was easy with FreeNas.

It seems easy in Ubuntu…I’ve been able to share EVERY folder I want EXCEPT the folder where my movies are stored. Even as Root User, Ubuntu won’t let me share this folder w/READ/WRITE Permissions.

officially stuck…appreciate any help

but have you tried:

sudo useradd -G ubuntuusernamehere plexmediaserver

?
