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
Specifies the 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
that is specified with the type attribute. The any-other and unauthenticated special
entry types do not require the ID attribute. See ID attribute.
Permissions
Defines the set of permissions (actions) that are
permitted on the resource by this user or group. Permissions
are defined by using action bits. Action bits are defined in action
groups. See Permissions attribute and Action groups and actions.
