20.2. Setting Access ACLs
There are two types of ACLs: access ACLs and default ACLs. An access ACL is the access control list for a specific file or directory. A default ACL can only be associated with a directory; if a file within the directory does not have an access ACL, it uses the rules of the default ACL for the directory. Default ACLs are optional.
ACLs can be configured:
- Per user
- Per group
- Via the effective rights mask
- For users not in the user group for the file
The
setfacl utility sets ACLs for files and directories. Use the -m option to add or modify the ACL of a file or directory:
# setfacl -m rules files
Rules (rules) must be specified in the following formats. Multiple rules can be specified in the same command if they are separated by commas.
u:uid:perms- Sets the access ACL for a user. The user name or UID may be specified. The user may be any valid user on the system.
g:gid:perms- Sets the access ACL for a group. The group name or GID may be specified. The group may be any valid group on the system.
m:perms- Sets the effective rights mask. The mask is the union of all permissions of the owning group and all of the user and group entries.
o:perms- Sets the access ACL for users other than the ones in the group for the file.
Permissions (perms) must be a combination of the characters
r, w, and x for read, write, and execute.
If a file or directory already has an ACL, and the
setfacl command is used, the additional rules are added to the existing ACL or the existing rule is modified.
Example 20.1. Give read and write permissions
For example, to give read and write permissions to user andrius:
# setfacl -m u:andrius:rw /project/somefile
To remove all the permissions for a user, group, or others, use the
-x option and do not specify any permissions:
# setfacl -x rules files
Example 20.2. Remove all permissions
For example, to remove all permissions from the user with UID 500:
# setfacl -x u:500 /project/somefile
