NFS4_SETFACL(1) NFSv4 Access Control Lists NFS4_SETFACL(1)
nfs4_setfacl, nfs4_editfacl - manipulate NFSv4 file/directory
access control lists
nfs4_setfacl [OPTIONS] COMMAND file...
nfs4_editfacl [OPTIONS] file...
nfs4_setfacl manipulates the NFSv4 Access Control List (ACL) of
one or more files (or directories), provided they are on a
mounted NFSv4 filesystem which supports ACLs.
nfs4_editfacl is equivalent to nfs4_setfacl -e.
Refer to the nfs4_acl(5) manpage for information about NFSv4 ACL
terminology and syntax.
COMMANDS
-a acl_spec
add the ACEs from acl_spec to file's ACL. ACEs are
inserted starting at the default position 1 of file's ACL.
-A acl_file
add the ACEs from the acl_spec in acl_file to file's ACL.
ACEs are inserted starting at the default position 1 of
file's ACL.
-x acl_spec
delete ACEs matched from acl_spec from file's ACL. Note
that the ordering of the ACEs in acl_spec does not matter.
-X acl_file
delete ACEs matched from the acl_spec in acl_file from
file's ACL. Note that the ordering of the ACEs in the
acl_spec does not matter.
-i index
ACEs are inserted or deleted starting at the indexth
position (DEFAULT: 1) of file's ACL. It can be used only
with the add or delete action.
-s acl_spec
set file's ACL to acl_spec.
-S acl_file
set file's ACL to the acl_spec in acl_file.
-e, --edit
edit file's ACL in the editor defined in the EDITOR
environment variable (DEFAULT: vi(1)) and set the
resulting ACL upon a clean exit, assuming changes made in
the editor were saved. Note that if multiple files are
specified, the editor will be serially invoked once per
file.
-m from_ace to_ace
modify file's ACL in-place by replacing from_ace with
to_ace.
-?, -h, --help
display help text and exit.
--version
display this program's version and exit.
NOTE: if '-' is given as the acl_file with the -A/-X/-S flags,
the acl_spec will be read from stdin.
OPTIONS
-R, --recursive
recursively apply to a directory's files and
subdirectories. Similar to setfacl(1), the default
behavior is to follow symlinks given on the command line
and to skip symlinks encountered while recursing through
directories.
-L, --logical
in conjunction with -R/--recursive, a logical walk follows
all symbolic links.
-P, --physical
in conjunction with -R/--recursive, a physical walk skips
all symbolic links.
--dacl
acts on the dacl only. This functionality is only
available if the server supports NFSv4 minor version 1 or
newer.
--sacl
acts on the sacl only. This functionality is only
available if the server supports NFSv4 minor version 1 or
newer.
--test
display results of COMMAND, but do not save changes.
With nfs4_setfacl, one can use simple abbreviations ("aliases")
to express generic "read" (R), generic "write" (W), and generic
"execute" (X) permissions, familiar from the POSIX mode bits used
by, e.g., chmod(1). To use these aliases, one can put them in
the permissions field of an NFSv4 ACE and nfs4_setfacl will
convert them: an R is expanded to rntcy, a W is expanded to
watTNcCy (with D added to directory ACEs), and an X is expanded
to xtcy. Please refer to the nfs4_acl(5) manpage for information
on specific NFSv4 ACE permissions.
For example, if one wanted to grant generic "read" and "write"
access on a file, the NFSv4 permissions field would normally
contain something like rwatTnNcCy. Instead, one might use
aliases to accomplish the same goal with RW.
The two permissions not included in any of the aliases are d
(delete) and o (write-owner). However, they can still be used:
e.g., a permissions field consisting of Wdo expresses generic
"write" access as well as the ability to delete and change
ownership.
Assume that the file `foo' has the following NFSv4 ACL for the
following examples:
A::OWNER@:rwatTnNcCy
D::OWNER@:x
A:g:GROUP@:rtncy
D:g:GROUP@:waxTC
A::EVERYONE@:rtncy
D::EVERYONE@:waxTC
- add ACE granting `alice@nfsdomain.org' generic "read" and
"execute" access (defaults to prepending ACE to ACL):
$ nfs4_setfacl -a A::alice@nfsdomain.org:rxtncy foo
- add the same ACE as above, but using aliases:
$ nfs4_setfacl -a A::alice@nfsdomain.org:RX foo
- add the same ACE as above, at index 2:
$ nfs4_setfacl -i 2 -a A::alice@nfsdomain.org:RX foo
- edit existing ACL in a text editor and set modified ACL on
clean save/exit:
$ nfs4_setfacl -e foo
- set ACL (overwrites original) to contents of a spec_file named
`newacl.txt':
$ nfs4_setfacl -S newacl.txt foo
- recursively set the ACLs of all files and subdirectories in the
current directory, skipping all symlinks encountered, to the
ACL contained in the spec_file named `newacl.txt':
$ nfs4_setfacl -R -P -S newacl.txt *
- delete the first ACE, but only print the resulting ACL (does
not save changes):
$ nfs4_setfacl --test -x -i 1 foo
- delete the last two ACEs above:
$ nfs4_setfacl -x A::EVERYONE@rtncy,D::EVERYONE@:waxTC foo
- modify (in-place) the second ACE above:
$ nfs4_setfacl -m D::OWNER@:x D::OWNER@:xo foo
- set ACLs of `bar' and `frobaz' to ACL of `foo':
$ nfs4_getfacl foo | nfs4_setfacl -S - bar frobaz
