Mac Mini Server-os x server-permissions fetching

Dear All,

I am an owner of a company and have a mac mini server bougth on May 2013.

All latest updates installed.

I have a shared file for my emplyees that we use and for some users when I try to add them in a files pesmissions it says fetching.

Some it shows correctly and some it shows fetching.

There are a couple of threds here but none gives a clear answer to solve this problem.

I tried the comand+r-terminal resetpassword thing and it did not solve it.

Please help.

Reinstaling the server is not an option.

Thanks

To avoid complicated permission issues with file sharing among multiple users, you should create a sharing-only user on the server and give that user read-write access to the sharepoint. All users should mount the sharepoint as that user.

Dear Davis,

Thank you for your asnwer!

The thing is that I am using file sharring from the server app and I beleive this is the right path to go when it comes to sharring a folder.

Now the fact that permissions is having the "fetching " problem is something that apple should address so that we do not have to divert form the correct way of sharring.

The threds that are open for this subject are from 2011.

When will someone from apple step in and give us a solution?

Kind Regads
