Hello Miguel,

Don't worry, your explanations were good ! But I have been working on ACLs for a long time, so it becomes a bit confusing for me ! :-)

Thanks again.

Regards,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

You probably already understood how this things work from Delbecq
explanations, but since I explained myself poorly, I'll just clarify my poor
english. See below.

Best regards,
Miguel

Hello Miguel,

I don't understand two thinks :
1.
When you say that "the first inherited is always the last processed", do you mean that Slide processes inheritable ACE on /b, then inheritable ACE on /a ... ?

Miguel> first inherited here would be /files on the /slide/file/a/b/c.txt
path.

2.
Why ACEs on a resource are not enougth to grant or deny a permission (cf. my problem on /files/partage/demoEsup) ?

Miguel> ACEs on a resource should be enough to grant or deny a permission.
They have the 'heavier weight' on deciding it. If that doesn't work
something must be wrong.

bonus. :-)
How can we know exactly what ACEs to put to grant or deny a permission (how Slide processes permissions exactly ?)

Miguel> I make Delbecq words mine :)




Thank you.

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Inherited ACEs are always resolved last. For example, take the following
path:

/slide/file/a/b/c.txt

Slide first checks for c.txt ACEs, then b/ ACEs, then a/ until slide/
collection's ACEs. Means that inherited ACEs are always processed last, and
the first inherited is always the last processed.

Hope this helps,
Miguel Figueiredo

Subject: ACL evaluation

Hello,

I have a problem trying to put permission on one resource.
I have understood that ACL's are evaluated from the top to the bottom. But what about inherited ACL's ? Are they evaluated first ? I could not find this information neither in the RFC or in the mailing list. :-(

My problem is that I have the following permissions :
/files/partage : deny all all inheritable
/files/partage/demoEsup : grant read /users/demoEsup inheritable, grant write /users/demoEsup inheritable

And the user demoEsup can not read or write in the folder /files/partage/demoEsup.
But if I change the permission on /files/partage into :
/files/partage : deny write all inheritable
it works...

Any idea ?

Thank you very much

Thomas
