<blockquote>
<p>This describes <code>POSIX</code> acl.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The access control list provides a flexibel permission mechanism next to the
<code>UNIX</code> file permissions. This allows to specify fine grained permissions for
users/groups on filesystems.</p>
<p>Filesystems which support acl typically have an <code>acl</code> option, which must be
specified while mounting when it is not a default option.
Filesystems must be mounted with the <code>acl</code> option if not enabled as default
option.</p>
<p>Files or folder that have an <code>acl</code> defined, can be identified by the <code>+</code> sign
next to the UNIX permissions.</p>
<p>The following shows on example for a zfs filesystem.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># mount | grep tank
tank on /tank type zfs (rw,xattr,noacl)
tank/foo on /tank/foo type zfs (rw,xattr,posixacl)
