I have found a lot of information about how to setup a samba4 active directory server, but I haven't found anything about configuring a standalone server in a windows workgroup, provisioning, configuring the smb.conf file, creating users, (I read that samba4 doesn't requires to have a unix user for every samba users) how to set up permissions, network browsing setup, etc.
is there any good guide or can anyone post a good guide here
thanks

The Samba By Example book is quite old now, but the parts for setting up

a simple server should still be correct, except where it references
security=share (which has been removed from 4.0):

As I understand it samba4 can only be a PDC or a BDC it cannot be a
stand alone server. you would need to use a samba3 server for that.

This confusion is why I am avoiding using the terms Samba3 and Samba4,

and encourage everyone else not to use this description.
Samba 4.0, which we just released, supports being a simple file server,
alongside all the other capabilities you would expect from the Samba
suite of software. It is also an AD DC, when so configured.
(almost) anything Samba 3.x can do, Samba 4.0 fully supports.
I do wish setting up a simple file server was as simple and guided as
the provision process is for a Samba 4.0 AD DC, but the link I gave in
the other reply is a very good starting point.
