When attempting to add movies on a Raid Array to my Library Plex only sees the name of the array. None of the folders on the root level show up in Plex.

I am attempting to do this on a Mac Studio computer, and the raid array is a LaCie 6Big system. The OS version is Monterey 12.6.

When trying to add this array I did notice that the icon for the raid array was a folder icon. When all of the other hard drives had a circle icon, and I could see the folders on them.

Sounds like the user that is running plex doesn’t have permission to view the files in the array
