...or (since this thread became somewhat about remembering rationales
in defense of kCIFS), if you connected as an administrative user (that
is, the storage server thinks you can administer, such as root) over
CIFS from Windows (which is a most likely scenario), you can use the
properties of files and dirs to set "Security" -> ZFC ACLs.

Although I am not sure whether you can or can not edit share permissions
as easily. Still, there is $dataset/.zfs/shares/$sharename entry which
is just there for setting ACLs (on server-side, to limit the networked
access to shares as opposed to FS-level access to individual objects)...
