ACL entries

Each ACL policy can contain one or more ACL entries. Each ACL entry contains attributes that identify the user or group and the actions that this user or group can perform.

The number of required attributes for an ACL entry depends on the ACL entry type. The general format of an ACL entry contains the following attributes:

Type

Entity category (user, group, or special) for which the ACL entry was created. See Type attribute.

ID

The unique identifier (name) of the user or group specified with the type attribute. The any-other and unauthenticated special entry types do not require the ID attribute. See ID attribute.

Permissions

Set of permissions (actions) that are permitted on the resource by this user or group. Permissions are defined using action bits. Action bits are defined in action groups. See Permissions attribute and Action groups and actions.
