    Exclamation Setting nested samba share permissions

    Hello,

    I am attempting to build a SAMBA file server for a classroom. I want students to be able to see the folder of their class period but only to be able to write in the folder I have created for them in that class period folder. I want this so that they will not destroy each others' work.

    Attached is my smb.conf

    This is the part I thought would serve that purpose:
    Code:
    [student work]
        browseable = no
        writeable = yes
        write list = %u
        path = /home/administrator/classes/1/%u
        create mask = 0755
        comment = Individual Student Work
        hide dot files = no
        valid users = %u,@admins
        force directory mode = 0777
    where the %u variable would only allow them to enter the folder that matches their username.

    I appreciate any guidance.
