Adds an access control entry (ACE) to a directory's access control set (ACS). SYNOPSIS ADD DIRECTORY directory-name [access-option] ACCESS principal [AS GROUP] [FOR] access Arguments directory-name The full name of the directory. access-option The extent to which the access rights apply. Possible access options are default and nopropagate. Enter one or both of the following options. If you enter both options, separate them with a comma. If you omit this argument, the ACE applies to the directory and automatically propagates to subsequent child directories. default Indicates that the ACE applies to all new object entries created in this directory. Access to already existing entries is not affected. A default ACE applies only to the contents of the directory, not to the directory itself. If you do not use the default option, the ACE applies to the directory. nopropagate Prevents the access rights in this ACE from being inherited by subsequently created child directories of the specified directory. When used in conjunction with default, prevents the ACS from being inherited by the contents of future children of the specified directory. Nopropagate is optional; if you do not use it, access rights propagate automatically. principal The principal for whom access is being added. You can specify a principal as a group name, a collection of principals denoted with wildcards (for example, .org.name*), or an individual name in the format, nodename.username. To specify a DNS Version 1-style principal, use the format nodename::username. The phrase as group indicates the specified principal is a group. You cannot use this phrase with wildcard principal names. access The access rights for the specified principal. Rights are read, write, delete, test, control, and none, and you can specify them as r, w, d, t, c, and non. Separate multiple rights with commas. Description This command adds an access control entry (ACE) to a directory's access control set. Access rights are defined as follows: Read Enables the specified principal to look up the directory by name, list the contents of the directory, and read any directory attribute. Write Enables the specified principal to create object entries or soft links in the directory, to skulk the directory, and to create, modify, or delete child directories. Delete Enables the specified principal to delete the directory or any name in the directory. Test Enables the specified principal to check the value of any attribute of the directory. Control Enables the specified principal to perform any operation on any object entry, soft link, or child in the directory, to read or modify any attribute of the directory (including its ACS), and to modify the replica type of a replica or the epoch value of the directory. None Does not grant the specified principal any access rights. ACCESS RIGHTS You must have control access to the directory whose ACS is being modified. You also need write access to the clearinghouse.
