chacl

Set ACL recursively on files and folder from an easy to read configuration (macOS only).

How to Use?

First you have to create a config file which will describe the different ACLs to apply to which folders and files.

Then, simply run chacl --admin-username admin /path/to/config/file. The admin username is required, because ACLs are added for it to be able to access everything whatever the configuration file says.

Here is an example config file:

###################################################################
# File format is as follow:                                       #
# ([u|g]: user-or-group-name: [r|rw]:)*  :/path/to/file-or-folder #
#                                                                 #
# Note: File and folders in this file should have                 #
# permission 0000 and be owned by the admin user.                 #
###################################################################

# This gives the user bob.kelso the permission to read and write in his folder.
u: bob.kelso: rw:  :/Volumes/TheBigRAID/File Sharing/Users/bob.kelso

# Nobody can either read or write in this folder.
:/Volumes/TheBigRAID/File Sharing/Users/fired.guy

# Public groups. Everybody can read, only the people in the group can write.
g: staff-all: r:  g:    staff-tech: rw:  :/Volumes/TheBigRAID/File Sharing/Teams/staff-tech
g: staff-all: r:  g: staff-finance: rw:  :/Volumes/TheBigRAID/File Sharing/Teams/staff-finance
                  g:     staff-all: rw:  :/Volumes/TheBigRAID/File Sharing/Teams/staff-all
# Private group. Only the people in the group can read (and write).
g: staff-finance: rw:  :/Volumes/TheBigRAID/File Sharing/Teams/staff-finance-private
