What is Access Control List and its types ?<\/h1>\n

It is a special kind of permission we are giving to the file system.<\/p>\n

Think of the scenario when a user is not a member of a group created by you but still you want to give some read or write access, how can you do it without making the user a member of group, here ACL enters in the picture.<\/p>\n

    \n
  •  setfacl are used for setting up ACL<\/li>\n
  •  getfacl are used for showing ACL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    –> There are two type of ACL :-<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Default ACL<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Access ACL<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u2192 The default acl is used to set access control list on a specific directory<\/p>\n

      \u2192 The access ACL is used to set permissions on any file or directory.<\/p>\n

       Default ACL<\/u><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • setfacl -m \u201cd:o:perms\u201d file_of_ name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"acl_1\"<\/p>\n

        Access ACL<\/u><\/h2>\n

        To add permissions for a group<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • setfacl -m “g:group:permissions” \/path_of_file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \"acl_2\"<\/p>\n

          To add permission for user<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • setfacl -m “u:user:permissions” \/path_of_file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \"acl4\"<\/p>\n

            To remove a specific entry<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • setfacl -x \u201cg:group\u201d \/path_of_file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \"acl_3\"<\/p>\n

              To copy the ACL rule from one file to other<\/h3>\n
                \n
              • getfacl file> file<\/li>\n
              • setfacl -M file_to_file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \"acl_5\"<\/p>\n

                To remove all entries<\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • setfacl -b path_of_file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  \"acl_6\"Conclusion<\/b>: By completing this tutorial we had learned the technical integrity of ACL and its types.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
