I've noticed an issue where the primary Ubuntu account can't reach the Samba shares, while a secondary user can. I'm curious why this happens. The main account appears in both the Samba configuration and the group that has access. On the network I see the server, but I keep getting permission errors like "I don't have access." I've temporarily changed the folder permissions to 777, even though it's not ideal. Since the server documentation is helpful and I intend to adjust it later, I considered taking that risk for now.
