Default ACLs for Containers
When a container is created within a container (a subdirectory within a directory, for example), it inherits the parent container's
· Initial Container ACL as its Object ACL and as its Initial Container ACL
· Initial Object ACL as its Initial Object ACL
For example, if you create a file named report in the directory marketing, the system assigns report the Initial Object ACL of the directory marketing. If you create a subdirectory in marketing, the system assigns the new subdirectory the Initial Container ACL of marketing. New subdirectories also receive a set of initial ACLs that match the parent directory's initial ACLs. In this example, the new subdirectory also receives marketing's initial ACLs as its own ACLs. The following figure illustrates how the default ACLs are assigned to objects created in containers.
