Webmin-fsacls is a module that offers efficient management of Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) for files and directories through a web-based interface.
Webmin-fsacls is an efficient and feature-packed webmin module designed to help users manage Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) on files and directories. This intuitive module is built to provide more granulated discretionary access rights to users, thus allowing users to manage access permissions with more precision. Webmin-fsacls is an ideal solution for users looking for a simple yet powerful tool to manage ACLs on their file systems.
This module provides users with complete control over access permissions for files and directories. It treats every object as if it has an associated ACL that governs the discretionary access to that object, referred to as an access ACL. Additionally, a directory can have an associated ACL that regulates the initial access ACL for objects created within that directory; this ACL is known as a default ACL. An ACL is made up of a set of ACL entries that specify access permissions for individual users or groups of users, such as read, write, and search/execute permissions.
To use webmin-fsacls, certain requirements need to be met. Users must ensure that they have the getfacl and setfacl utilities and libraries and a kernel compiled with ACL extensions. Moreover, the file system must support ACLs such as ext3, reiserfs, or xfs, and the volume must be mounted with the appropriate option. For example, ext3 has an acl option for mounting.
This latest release of webmin-fsacls includes several improvements and fixes to enhance user experience. One of the significant changes is the improved handling of the operation result. Overall, webmin-fsacls is an excellent webmin module that is versatile, comprehensive and contains a range of functionalities that make it an indispensable tool for managing ACLs on files and directories.
