- <title>POSIX Access Control Lists </title>
- <para>POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) allows you to assign different permissions for different users or
-groups even though they do not correspond to the original owner or the owning group.
- </para>
- <para>For example: User john creates a file but does not want to allow anyone to do anything with this
-file, except another user, antony (even though there are other users that belong to the group john).
-</para>
- <para>This means, in addition to the file owner, the file group, and others, additional users and groups can
-be granted or denied access by using POSIX ACLs.

- <title>Activating POSIX ACLs Support </title>
- <para>To use POSIX ACLs for a file or directory, the partition of the file or directory must be mounted with
-POSIX ACLs support.

- <section id="sect-Administration_Guide-ACLs-Activating_ACLs-Server">
- <title>Activating POSIX ACLs Support on Sever </title>
- <para>To mount the backend export directories for POSIX ACLs support, use the following command:
-</para>
- <para><command># mount -o acl <replaceable>device-name</replaceable><replaceable>partition</replaceable></command>
-</para>
- <para>For example:
-</para>
- <para><command># mount -o acl /dev/sda1 /export1 </command></para>
- <para>Alternatively, if the partition is listed in the /etc/fstab file, add the following entry for the partition
-to include the POSIX ACLs option:
-</para>
- <para><command>LABEL=/work /export1 ext3 rw, acl 14 </command></para>

- <para>To mount the glusterfs volumes for POSIX ACLs support, use the following command:

- <para><command># mount –t glusterfs -o acl <replaceable>severname:volume-id</replaceable><replaceable>mount point</replaceable></command>
-</para>

- <title>Setting POSIX ACLs </title>
- <para>You can set two types of POSIX ACLs, that is, access ACLs and default ACLs. You can use
-access ACLs to grant permission for a specific file or directory. You can use default ACLs only
-on a directory but if a file inside that directory does not have an ACLs, it inherits the permissions of
-the default ACLs of the directory.
-</para>
- <para>You can set ACLs for per user, per group, for users not in the user group for the file, and via the
-effective right mask.
-</para>
- <section>
- <title>Setting Access ACLs </title>
- <para>You can apply access ACLs to grant permission for both files and directories.
-</para>
- <para><emphasis role="bold">To set or modify Access ACLs</emphasis>
-</para>
- <para>You can set or modify access ACLs use the following command:
-</para>
- <para><command># setfacl –m <replaceable>entry type</replaceable> file </command></para>
- <para>The ACL entry types are the POSIX ACLs representations of owner, group, and other.
-</para>
- <para>Permissions must be a combination of the characters <command>r</command> (read), <command>w</command> (write), and <command>x</command> (execute). You must
-specify the ACL entry in the following format and can specify multiple entry types separated by
-commas.

- <para>If a file or directory already has an POSIX ACLs, and the setfacl command is used, the additional
-permissions are added to the existing POSIX ACLs or the existing rule is modified.

- <title>Setting Default ACLs </title>
- <para>You can apply default ACLs only to directories. They determine the permissions of a file system
-objects that inherits from its parent directory when it is created.

- <para>To set default ACLs
-</para>
- <para>You can set default ACLs for files and directories using the following command:

- <title>Samba and ACLs </title>
- <para>If you are using Samba to access GlusterFS FUSE mount, then POSIX ACLs are enabled by default.
-Samba has been compiled with the <command>--with-acl-support</command> option, so no special flags are required
-when accessing or mounting a Samba share.

- <title>NFS and ACLs </title>
- <para>Currently we do not support ACLs configuration through NFS, i.e. setfacl and getfacl commands do
-not work. However, ACLs permissions set using Gluster Native Client applies on NFS mounts.
