How to change permissions on SAMBA subfolder?

Question

I have a SAMBA server with ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER in Active Directory. My main aim is to make a different permissions on share sub-folders on very single share. It can be done using Linux acl or Windows permissions GUI. But I prefere a Windows GUI. In this case users can do this by themselves.

I'm already tried to change permissions using chmod,chown,acl, windows gui, windows consol gui. And I can change permissions to sub-folder but it seems thatit doesn't work and only groups added to samba-share worked for me and also for sub-folders

valid users = "+DOMAIN.LOCAL\IT" # "+DOMAIN.LOCAL\adm" # "+DOMAIN.LOCAL\DR" # "DOMAIN.LOCAL\PRINTERS"
admin users = "+DOMAIN.LOCAL\IT" # "+DOMAIN.LOCAL\adm" # "+DOMAIN.LOCAL\DR" # "DOMAIN.LOCAL\PRINTERS"

I print here all my smb.cfg and a single test share:

[global]
# No .tld
workgroup = DOMAIN
netbios name = samba4
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
# Active Directory System
security = ads
# With .tld

In samba.log I see a problem with acl permission while I try to change permission to test directory

set_nt_acl: failed to set file acl on file test (Operation not permitted).

Also I change permission on test directory to 777 and delete options "create mask", "directory mask", "admin users". Now I can't even add new user to file permission

If you wanting to use Windows permissions you need to remove the UNIX/Linux permission controls that override them.

chmod 777 '/FS/test$'

Remove these lines from your share definition:

create mask = 700
directory mask = 700
admin users = ...
