Questions tagged [acl]

An access control list (ACL) is a list attached to a file or other resource, specifying what may be done with it and who may do it.

An ACL specifies which users or system processes are granted access to objects, as well as what operations are allowed on given objects. Each entry in a typical ACL specifies a subject and an operation.
