Setup Shares

Create user:

useradd --system me
chown -R me /disk/share

Create a Group:

sudo groupadd mygroup

Add user to the group:

sudo useradd me -G mygroup

Set permissions to the directory:

chgrp -R mygroup /disk/share
chmod g+s /disk/share

Allow all users to read and write to your share:

[share]
  path = /disk/share
  writeable = yes
  browseable = yes
  public = yes
  create mask = 0644
  directory mask = 0755
  force user = me

Allow all linux users which is part of a group to read and write to your share:

[share]
  path = /disk/share
  valid users = @mygroup
  writeable = yes
  browseable = yes
  create mask = 0644
  directory mask = 0755
  force user = me

Only allowing one user to access our share, we need to assign a samba password:

sudo smbpasswd -a me

Then we can specify our config that only our me user can access our share with read/write permissions:

[share]
  path = /disk/share
  valid users = me
  writeable = yes
  browseable = yes
  create mask = 0644
  directory mask = 0755
  force user = me

Other examples

# read to some, write to some
[share]
  comment = Ubuntu Share
  path = /your/samba/share
  browsable = yes
  guest ok = yes
  read only = no
  read list = guest nobody
  write list = user1 user2 user3
  create mask = 0755

# read to all, write to some
[share]
  comment = Ubuntu Share
  path = /your/samba/share
  browsable = yes
  guest ok = yes
  read only = yes
  write list = user1 user2 user3
