I have a share setup to allow only a specific group.
eg.
[projects]
path = /Volumes/iRAID/projects
public = NO
read only = NO
comment = Project Files
force directory mode = 0770
force create mode = 0770
valid users = @projects
the valid users = @group makes it so that the user must be in that
specific group to enter.
It is in the smb.conf manual.
try man smb.conf or find it on your mirror of samba.org
>> snip
valid users (S)
This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this
service. Names starting with '@', '+' and '&' are interpreted using the
same rules as described in the invalid users parameter.
If this is empty (the default) then any user can login. If a username
is in both this list and the invalid users list then access is denied for
that user.
The current servicename is substituted for %S . This is useful in the
[homes] section.
See also invalid users
Default: No valid users list (anyone can login)
Example: valid users = greg, @pcusers
