Restrict permissions of symlinks in shared/samba folder for a certain user

Hi,

to avoid problems I took my downloads folder out of my samba share and created a symlink instead. Now I want to give one user only read permission. But although I've set the check mark to read only for the downloads folder over omv webui (only use privileges), the user is still able to create folder or files in it.
Afterwards I've read that a symlink get the permissions from the linked folder and changed the permissions with chmod to "555" to test it. Rebooted both desktop and server but nothing has changed.

Any advices how I can adjust the permissions to reach my target?

You don't need to move the folder outside,...

Read something here, that a shared folder inside a shared folder/samba share isn't the best. So I set up the symlink to everybodys "home"-folder. But not every user should have write permissions to the linked folder. Isn't it necessary to create symlinks to avoid multiple shared folder inside of another one?

I will set the permissions to default, reboot and try it again and reboot again

Ok, thanks for your help! Fortunately I still haven't any files on the drives, so I'm able to test without a bad feeling.
