Yes, the permissions of the folders being shared have a great effect on whether people can access them. Their users and groups also matter.
This does not mean you should jam 777 on everything! There's a reason it's not working, figure out what their permissions are and what your users can access and what permissions they actually need.
What are the permissions and ownership of the dir that can't be accessed?

pam_console_appy(8) System Administrator's Manual pam_console_appy(8)
NAME
pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console
SYNOPSIS
pam_console_apply [-r]
DESCRIPTION
pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in the same manner as pam_console.
If /var/run/console.lock exists, pam_console_apply will grant permissions to the user listed therein. If the lock file does not exist,
permissions are reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured to set permissions on devices so that root
owns them.
ARGUMENTS
-r Signals pam_console_apply to reset permissions. The default is to set permissions so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock
has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if no such file exists.
FILES
/var/run/console.lock
/etc/security/console.perms
