How to give jail user access to datasets?

[mikael]

I created a jail in order to be able to run borg backup. I can access datasets in /mnt/ if I use the root user, but having created a user by following this guide, it can’t access these datasets. How should I set permissions so it can access all storage in /mnt/?

the UID must match.
mediauser:1500 inside the jail and mediauser:1500 outside the jail.
then you give mediauser access to the dataset, and give the jail access to the dataset.

then you give mediauser access to the dataset

Thanks! mediauser outside the jail?

mediauser is just a placeholder. it can be whatever username, it just has to match inside and outside in each jail you want to use.
once they match, then they are the same user, and there isnt really an inside or outside.

Thanks, that much I understand.

Thanks again!
