Access Control


These are the seven access permissions which may appear in an ACL. R or read access lets you read files in a directory. L, list, or lookup access lets you attach to a directory and list its contents. Coda does not support `hidden' directories, which a user can access without being able to do a directory listing. None of the other permissions actually works unless you have L access to the directory as well.

I or insert access, and D or delete access let you insert or delete files in a directory respectively, or create or delete a subdirectory respectively, or mount or unmount a volume there.

The K or lock access is intended to control the ability to lock files in a directory, but this has no effect in a Coda system.

W or write access lets you write or append to files in a directory, and A or admin access lets you change a directory's Access Control List.
