Permissions extension setfacl

[problem]

You want to allow access to files or directories, without giving exclusive use of a given group, user, etc.

[/problem]

[solution]

Use setfacl. 🙂 See the example and reference tabs.

[/solution]

[example]


setfacl -m user:USERID:rw- filename

getfacl filename

Can also do this: getfacl filename1 | setfacl -f – filename

Performing an ls -ld filename, will show a plus in the permission column.
