Craig,
I appreciate the help.
I have zero experience with Windows. I've only used MacOS and Linux  my whole life. The reason I'm still not using groups is because I don't quite get the mapping. I'm not joining a Windows Domain. The other thing is, I don't know if I should create a samba users group in the system and add my samba users to it or use an existing group. I'm lost here.
Thanks,
EJ
