Special Permissions and Access Control Lists | Into the Terminal 34

Standard permissions do not cover every case. This episode gets into special bits and ACLs.

What this episode covers:

  • setuid, setgid, and the sticky bit, and why they matter.
  • Fine-grained access with setfacl and getfacl.
  • When ACLs are the right answer over reworking groups.

Watch the full walkthrough above.
