Advanced ACL Permissions

What are Advanced ACL Permissions?

Advanced ACL (Access Control List) permissions refer to a storage space permission management feature developed by TerraMaster in new TOS 6 system.  Compared to permissions in traditional Linux systems, Advanced ACL permissions not only provide basic read-only, read-write, and prohibit three common permissions, but also offer an more flexible permission management feature.

13 Custom Permissions

In addition to basic permissions, TerraMaster advanced ACL permissions add 13 additional permissions that can be customized by users. These customized permissions make the permission management of storage space more flexible, can meet the needs of various users, and improve management flexibility.

Three Permission Types

The 13 newly added permissions are categorized into three main categories: Administration permissions, read permissions, and write permissions.
Administration permissions include modifying permissions and obtaining ownership.
Read permissions cover operations such as traversing folders/executing files, listing folders/reading data, reading attributes, reading extended attributes, and reading permissions.
Write permissions include creating files/writing data, creating folders/appending data, writing attributes, writing extended attributes, deleting subfolders/files, and deletion.

Flexible Permission Settings

TerraMaster's Advanced ACL permissions break through the traditional limitations of read and write permissions, providing more flexible permission settings. Administrators can separately configure Administration permissions, read permissions, and write permissions for users or user groups. 

Enhanced Data Security

Advanced ACL permissions allow administrators to fine-tune permissions for users or user groups based on specific needs, ensuring data read and write access while preventing accidental deletion of data. This flexible approach to permission management makes TerraMaster's Advanced ACL permissions a powerful safeguard for enterprise data security.

Developed for Business Users

For enterprises, members of multiple functional departments or work groups are often required to coordinate and data sharing. Due to the more flexible permission settings offered by Advanced ACL permissions, administrators can fine-tune permissions for each user or user group to ensure data security while enhancing usage flexibility. Therefore, Advanced ACL permissions are particularly suitable for enterprise users to meet their data security and usage needs.
