According to https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000015945 that feature can only work if the machine is part of a domain

Does it work when part of a windows domain membership?

unfortunately i can't test it, but at least the bug is registered now, at some point someone will surely test it
Comment 3 Richard Brown 2024-06-03 11:49:23 UTC 
Reducing severity as suspicion this is not a bug but a misunderstanding how usersharing is meant to work and the mandatory requirement to join a Windows domain
