Samba Not Connecting as Root

I’ve set up the Samba addon for Home Assistant, and am able to mount the config folder on my Ubuntu laptop, however it seems that the Samba user does not have root access. I’m able to see everything in the HA config directory, but unable to create or modify, or upload files & folders.

It seems that the Samba user does not have root access. If I modify a file through the graphical text editor, I get prompted for the HA root password, and am able to save it, however I am otherwise unable to create, edit, or upload files, through neither the command line, nor the Dolphin file explorer.

Any thoughts on why this may be?

Config file:

username: username
password: youll_never_get_it_out_of_me
workgroup: WORKGROUP
compatibility_mode: false
veto_files:
  - ._*
  - .DS_Store
  - Thumbs.db
  - icon?
  - .Trashes
allow_hosts:
  - 192.168.0.101/24

Mount Command:

sudo mount -o username=username,password=youll_never_get_it_out_of_me //192.168.0.102/config /home/user/home_assistant
