[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1894440, member: 110816"] The way you want to have multiple users to access shared folder is to do things at the Group level. Permissions on all Unix-based systems follow the User/Group/World scheme. A user is given read/write access to their files/folders. If you give the group read access, then any other user who belongs to the same group can access the files/folders. If you give world read access, then anyone can access the files/folders. By default on macOS, you end up in the group called Staff and if you type the command "id" on the Terminal, you'll see what groups a user is assigned to. On my Big Sur machine I get: [CODE] uid=501(<my username>) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),79(_appserverusr),80(admin),81(_appserveradm),98(_lpadmin),399(com.apple.access_ssh),33(_appstore),100(_lpoperator),204(_developer),250(_analyticsusers),395(com.apple.access_ftp),398(com.apple.access_screensharing),400(com.apple.access_remote_ae),701(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1) [/CODE] UID is "User ID", GID is "Group ID" and groups lists out all the groups I belong to. So for the users you've created on the Mac Mini, ensure they all belong to the same group (you can create a new group if you wish) and then assign ownership of the folder at the top-most level to the shared group. Now as each user creates files/folders, it will be marked as them as the owner of the file, but the group will also be marked and others can access the files. [/QUOTE]
