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:~#

The examples below are on Linux clients but it's possible to access from Windows clients with common way.
# verify with [smbclient]
