Mount SMB share as non-root user with write permissions

sudo mount -t cifs -o "uid=$local_user,username=$smb_user,addr=$host" //$host/$share $mount_path

For errors:

• mount: $mount_path: cannot mount //$host/$share read-only
• mount: $mount_path: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.

Install cifs-utils:

sudo apt install cifs-utils
