Table 17-8 ACL Entries for Files
ACL Entry |
Description |
---|---|
u[ser]::perms |
File owner permissions. |
g[roup]::perms |
File group permissions. |
o[ther]:perms |
Permissions for users other than the file owner or members of file group. |
m[ask]:perms |
The ACL mask. The mask entry indicates the maximum permissions allowed for users (other than the owner) and for groups. The mask is a quick way to change permissions on all the users and groups. For example, the mask:r-- mask entry indicates that users and groups cannot have more than read permissions, even though they might have write/execute permissions. |
u[ser]:uid:perms |
Permissions for a specific user. For uid, you can specify either a user name or a numeric UID. |
g[roup]:gid:perms |
Permissions for a specific group. For gid, you can specify either a group name or a numeric GID. |
