Configure GlusterFS volume to enable SMB protocol.
[1] Configure GlusterFS to enable SMB setting on a Node in GlusterFS Cluster.

[2] Configure Samba.
For example, Create a shared Folder that users in [smbgroup] group can only access to shared folder [smbshare] and also they are required user authentication.
# mount Gluster volume with GlusterFS Native and create a shared folder for SMB access

root@node01:~#
mount -t glusterfs node01.srv.world:/vol_distributed /mnt

root@node01:~#
mkdir /mnt/smbshare

root@node01:~#

root@node01:~#
chgrp smbgroup /mnt/smbshare

root@node01:~#
chmod 770 /mnt/smbshare

root@node01:~#

[3] Verify it can access to the target share with SMB from any Linux client computer.
The examples below are on Linux clients but it's possible to access from Windows clients with common way.
# verify with [smbclient]
