Permission denied on files in a directory on a CIFS-mounted Windows share in Linux

Question

I am trying to install the store front directly to Azure from github. One of the required fields on the installation form is Virto Commerce Api Hmac App Id. I think the generation of this code requires the 'Use Api' role in the user manager.

My problem is that the Available Roles list is empty in my Azure installation of the platform manager.

How do I populate this list with the built in Roles ?

Solution

Further digging revealed a noperm parameter that can be used on the mount command:

sudo mount.cifs //HPSERVER/linux-bup/ /home/maxg/bmsOnSrvr --v -o user=linux,pass=****,noperm

result now:

[edit] However, it looks like this is the proper way of doing it:

sudo mount.cifs //HPSERVER/linux-bup/ /home/maxg/bmsOnSrvr --v -o user=linux,pass=****,uid=1001,gid=1001

result now:

# [2018-04-17 21:59] maxg@rpi32 ~/bmsOnSrvr $

drwxr-xr-x 2 maxg maxg    0 Apr 17 21:50 .

uid and gid likely need to come from id -u <username> and id -g <username>. Or at least that's what I did based on this answer, and it worked :) .
