    Very strange and I am pretty sure this is not by design.

    If I RDP into my box & add a permission to the Photos share for say: test with read/write access the permission get sreset a few days later.

    I know this sounds trange but it's true I can set the permission and check back a few hour later and it is still there but at some point it resets.

    Still can't figure out the exact point but i am wondering why this keeps doing this.

    Any suggestions?

    Maybe I "must" use the console?

     

    You should.  I have seen other people have the same problem you're having by not using the Console.  What has worked for me is to alter the permissions on a folder inside one of the WHS shares.

    Actually, it's only 3 (no access, read access, full access).  I believe one of the functions of the storage manager is to make sure permissions match what WHS allows (which is why every time I run the storage server diagnostic, I get a Tombstone ACL Doesn't Match QSM for each file in the folder where I set the permissions manually).

     

    You need to keep in mind the target audience of the server:  people who know nothing about permissions in the first place.

    Are you using the Console to set your permissions?

    Backdooring the Windows Home Server Console around user permissions can get you in a real mess.  I would never recommend it.

    Ok.

    I know I am using my system outside of support from go.

    Running php+mysl on it hehe. I was just curious that's all.

    I will make sure I keep the permissions managed via the console and go from there.

    Thanks for the update.
