Starting with Samba version 3.0.23 the capability for non−root users to add, modify, and delete their own share definitions has been added. This capability is called usershares and is controlled by a set of parameters in the [global] section of the smb.conf. The relevant parameters are :
- usershare allow guests - Controls if usershares can permit guest access.
- usershare max shares - Maximum number of user defined shares allowed.
- usershare owner only - If set only directories owned by the sharing user can be shared.
- usershare path - Points to the directory containing the user defined share definitions. The filesystem permissions on this directory control who can create user defined shares.
- usershare prefix allow list - Comma−separated list of absolute pathnames: only directories below the pathnames in this list are permitted.
- usershare prefix deny list - Comma−separated list of absolute pathnames: directories below the pathnames in this list are prohibited.
- usershare template share - Names a pre-existing share used as a template for creating new usershares. All other share parameters not specified in the user defined share definition are copied from this named share.
