Authentication

Note: Ensure you're using HTTPS on port 82 with admin credentials (admin / admin).

1. ✅ Create SMB Share

POST https://<nas-ip>:82/api/v4/shares
Body:

json
CopyEdit
{  "name": "editing101",  "path": "Pool-0/StudentShares/editing101",  "comment": "Editing 101 class share",  "active": true,  "smb": {    "enabled": true,    "visible": true,    "inherit_owner": true,    "inherit_perms": true,    "access_mode": "user"  }
}

This creates the shared folder with proper visibility and permission inheritance.

2. Add AD Group to the Share

POST https://<nas-ip>:82/api/v4/shares/editing101/groups
Body:

json
CopyEdit
[  {    "name": "editing101-smartU",    "readonly": false  }
]

This grants the group full write access to the share.

3. Create Home Directories for Each Student

If you want to create home directories under the share path:
POST https://<nas-ip>:82/api/v4/smbclient/directory
Body:

json
CopyEdit
{  "path": "Pool-0/StudentShares/editing101",  "dirname": "student1",  "user": "admin",  "password": "admin"
}

You would loop this for each student (student1, student2, etc.).

4. Restart SMB (Optional After Config Changes)

POST https://<nas-ip>:82/api/v4/services/smb/restart
No body needed

Useful after bulk changes.
