mount permissions from Windows to Ubuntu

Question

I have followed this guide in order to share my windows server files with my ubuntu 20.04 box.

It seems to have worked, as long as i am using the sudo command when making any changes to files or creating/deleting

if i attempt anything such as mkdir without sudo then i get permission denied

when the windows share is not mounted, the permissions for /mnt/winshare are drwxrwxrwx 2 user user

However, when i mount the windows share, they become drwxr-xr-x 2 root root

what am i missing?

So i found the answer here. I did not do enough digging/google fu was weak!
