win_acl_inheritance - Change ACL inheritance

New in version 2.1.

Synopsis

  • Change ACL (Access Control List) inheritance and optionally copy inherited ACE’s (Access Control Entry) to dedicated ACE’s or vice versa.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
path
required
Path to be used for changing inheritance
reorganize
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
For P(state) = absent, indicates if the inherited ACE's should be copied from the parent directory. This is necessary (in combination with removal) for a simple ACL instead of using multiple ACE deny entries.
For P(state) = present, indicates if the inherited ACE's should be deduplicated compared to the parent directory. This removes complexity of the ACL structure.
state
    Choices:
  • absent ←
  • present
Specify whether to enable present or disable absent ACL inheritance
