I added a directory to a lxc container to be shared, how to I grant permission to LXC Container's user from Proxmox.

Shared Directory: mp0: /mnt/4TB/Plex,mp=/mnt/Plex

Thanks,

Code:
arch: amd64
cores: 2
hostname: WebServer
memory: 2000
mp0: /mnt/4TB/Plex,mp=/mnt/Plex
nameserver: 192.168.40.4 192.168.40.1
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=2a:e7:4e:5e:19:f6,ip=dhcp,type=veth
net1: name=eth88,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=ba:b1:cd:99:7a:88,ip=dhcp,type=veth
net2: name=eth7,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=22:ff:42:cc:3b:e7,ip=dhcp,type=veth

you need to modify the file permissions or change the file owner. with a default unprivileged container, chown 100000:100000 -R /mnt/4TB/Plex would set the owner of the files to uid/gid 100000, which is root user in the container (root uid = 0 in container, 100000 outside the container)
