I'm running a home file-sharing server and I want to protect important files from being accidentally deleted by family members. Ideally, I'd like to limit access so that certain users have different read/write permissions for different shares. I'm considering options for both NFS and SMB access. I understand a lot hinges on user IDs, but setting up custom groups and odd IDs on clients seems complicated and might not provide genuine security. While IP whitelisting is straightforward, it won't prevent accidental deletions. Is there a way to require a login and password from Windows and Linux clients before they can access any files?

You might want to check out the OMV permissions guide. It might have exactly what you need to set up proper access controls on your server. Here's a link to it: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:nas_permissions_omv7. It should help you get things sorted!
Thanks, that looks promising! I'm hoping it'll not only solve my issue but also teach me a bit more about managing permissions.
