3.5.2 Modify an ACL
To modify an access control list (ACL) for an Exascale vault or file, use the ESCLI
chacl
command and specify:
-
The vault or file for which you are modifying the ACL.
-
The ACL string, which defines the modification to the ACL.
The ACL string is a list of user IDs and ACL privilege pairs. Depending on the user creation method, the user ID may be a system-generated value or a user-specified value. For example:
dd7c8e35-3c8d-4441-a9b0-f58e959b84ba:read;scott:inspect
If the ACL string begins with a plus sign (
+
), then the rest of the ACL string is added to the existing ACL for the file or vault. Without the+
, the existing vault or file ACL is overwritten.
