Windows server user share permission in matrix structure

Hey all

I have been using Nextcloud on a Synology for a while now to provide data access to my user on their Windows client. With it I use a plugin to manage user permissions.
I use Samba on the Synology server to provide the data to Windows client. On Windows I use RcloneTray to mount the Samba share for data access.

This solution is far from perfect and I have quit some issues with it.
We use Windows Server as domain controller, and I know Windows has the capabilities to create shares and manage permissions.
But unfortunately I don't know for sure if it's possible to manage the permission as I did on Nextcloud.

I want to achieve the following:

As you can see in the image attached, there are different departments and projects. Each department and project has its own group. And every department has a folder for a project.

So department HR has the following folders.
HR
HR + Project 1
HR + Project 2
HR + Project 3
HR + Project 4

And every project has its own folder, so the folder we must have should be:
Project 1
Project 2
Project 3
Project 4

Here is how the Matrix structure works:
If you are part of the HR group, you have access right to "HR", "HR+Project 1", "HR + Project 2"...

But if you are part of let's say Project 3, you should only see/have access to the following folders:
Project3+HR
Project3+Sales
Project3+R&D
Project3+IT

How can I achieve this?

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to File Share with matrix structure.

    As Microsoft does not have Matrix structure for File Permission rather than it has Inherited permissions.

    In your case I would suggest you Create Different groups and Nested them and apply permission to shared folder.
