Checking the ACL Entries for a New Directory

After you create a directory, you want to verify that the users and applications for whom the directory was created have the appropriate permissions. To do this, use the acl show command on the directory to see the associated ACL entries. For example:

dcecp> acl show /.:/sales
{unauthenticated r - t-}
{group subsys/dce/cds-admin rwdtc}
{group subsys/dce/cds-server rwdtc}
{any_other r--t-}
dcecp>

(See the acl(8dce) reference page for complete information on the acl show command.)

If the required permissions were not inherited from the new directory's parent directory, use the acl modify command to create the necessary ACL entries. For example:

dcecp> acl modify /.:/sales -add {user cell_admin rwdtcia}
dcecp>

(See the acl(8dce) reference page for complete information on the arguments and options for the acl modify command.)
