9.2

Permissions

All files used for ACLs support the following syntax:

<user>:<permission>

For all ACL files, standard Solaris lookup mechanisms are used for user name
lookup. In support of unknown UIDs, all files support:

nobody

:<permission>

Each type of ACL file allows different permissions; the permissions are described in
the following sections in this chapter. For all ACLs, permissions are independent of
one another. That is, there is not a hierarchy of permissions in which a "higher"
permission includes "lower" permissions.
