Description

facl is an interactive editor for NFSv4 access control lists, modelled after the Windows "Advanced Security Settings" dialog: one row per ACL entry, an entry editor with "Applies to" (this folder, subfolders and files, ...), basic and advanced permissions, and apply scopes that propagate or replace the inherited entries of a whole tree. Changes are previewed as the exact setfacl(1) commands before they run.

It reads ACLs with getfacl(1) and writes them with setfacl(1), and works on ZFS, UFS with nfsv4acls and NFSv4 mounts. On ZFS the dataset's aclinherit and aclmode properties are honoured when computing what descendants inherit and what chmod(1) would do to an ACL. It also shows the effective access of a user or group, audits a tree for inheritance drift, changes ownership, keeps ACL templates, and offers all of that non-interactively for scripts (dry run, -set, -audit, -effective, ...).
