ACL.

Security
You may issue the mmputacl command only from a node in the GPFS cluster where the file system is
mounted.
You must be the file or directory owner, the root user, or someone with control permission in the ACL, to
run the mmputacl command.
Examples
To use the entries in a file named standard.acl to set the ACL for a file named project2.history, issue
this command:
mmputacl -i standard.acl project2.history
where standard.acl contains:
user::rwxc
group::rwx-
other::--x-
mask::rw-c
user:alpha:rwxc
group:audit:rwx-
group:system:-w--
To confirm the change, issue this command:
mmgetacl project.history
The system displays information similar to:
#owner:paul
#group:design
user::rwxc
group::rwx-
other::--x-
mask::rw-c
user:alpha:rwxc
group:audit:rwx-
group:system:-w--
