Shared resources and their access restrictions are defined in the samba 
config file smb.conf. For a reference see 
http://au1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html

As far as I know, samba uses the unix usernames and groups on the server 
it's running on. You can refer to these groups in the smb.conf file, ie 
to control access to a share. For example:

[sectionX]
   write list = @nospam.secX

Where sectionX is the share name and secX is a group of users allowed to 
write to the share.

Cheers,
Jay.
