acl permissions

Returns a list describing the permissions associated with an object. The syntax is:

acl permissions acl_name_list [-ic | -io | -entry] [-type manager_type_name] [-local]

Options

-ic
Specifies that the command is to operate on the initial container ACL of the named object.

-io
Specifies that the command is to operate on the initial object ACL of the named object.

-entry
Specifies that the command is to operate on the ACL of the namespace entry of the object.

-type manager_type_name
Specifies that the command uses a particular ACL manager. This option is needed only for objects that have more than one purpose such as principal names that also act as directories (see Description).

-local
Specifies that the command is to operate on the ACL of a dced object while the dced on the local machine is in partial service mode.

Description
The acl permissions operation returns a list of the permissions associated with an object. For each permission, the operation shows the permission token and a description of the permission. The manager_type_name argument is a list of names of ACL Manager types whose permissions are to be returned. If more than one name is entered the output is concatenated and a blank line inserted between each manager type.

Privileges Required
The permissions required are defined by the object's ACL Manager. Use the permissions operation to display the currently available tokens and their meanings. See the documentation for the DCE component you are using to obtain a more detailed description of its specific permissions.

Example

dcecp> acl permissions /.:/hosts
{r {read entry attributes}}
{w {write enrty attributes}}
{d {delete entry}}
{t {test attribute values}}
{c {change ACL}}
{i {create new directory entries}}
{a {administer directory replication}}
