To View a File or Folder's ACL Entries

1. Display the File Manager Properties dialog box.

   See "To Display the Properties Dialog Box for a File or Folder".

2. Click the Permissions button in the Category field.

   This sets the dialog box to permissions mode (see Figure 5-7).

3. Click the Show Access Control List button if the access control list area is not currently displayed.

4. Examine the entries in the access control list area.

   Any existing ACL entries for the item are displayed in the scroll list, including the type of entry, specified name, requested permissions, and effective permissions. The requested permissions are the default permissions before the ACL mask has been applied--the effective permissions reflect the permissions after the mask has been applied.
