ACL Behavior on Mode Change
When an ACL is modified via chmod(2) using the standard UNIX
user/group/other permissions, the simplified mode change request will interact with the
existing ACL in different ways depending on the setting of this property. To edit the ACL
behavior on mode change, see Editing a Project BUI, CLI.
Table 123 Mode Change Values
|
|
|
|
Discard ACL
|
discard
|
All ACL entries that do not represent the mode of the directory or file are
discarded. This is the default behavior.
|
|
Mask ACL with mode
|
mask
|
The permissions are reduced, such that they are no greater than the group
permission bits, unless it is a user entry that has the same UID as the owner of
the file or directory. In this case, the ACL permissions are reduced so that they
are no greater than owner permission bits. The mask value also preserves the ACL
across mode changes, provided an explicit ACL set operation has not been
performed.
|
|
Do not change ACL
|
passthrough
|
No changes are made to the ACL other than generating the necessary ACL entries
to represent the new mode of the file or directory.
