In more descriptive terms, an access control list is a list that determines which system processes or users are granted access to an object as well as what operations are permitted on the object.
I tried to refer to the object 'system '. There are other objects like administrator, administrators, user, and everyone. Sorry, I tried to initially save keystrokes because I was typing on a phone keyboard. Bad idea. Just wondering, for home users, that aren't using domains, with ACLs, what type of objects are listed when you right click on a text file and choose properties and security in the windows 10 file explorer from within your cygwin install. I ask partially because with ACL as context, I cannot find a good example of 'system' object and what it is used for. I figure it must be either complicated or the opposite which is well understood . If you dont answer, I'm only frustrated with myself. Thanks for your help. Sorry Brian, Thanks, Roboloki On Fri, Oct 23, 2020, 5:31 PM Brian Inglis <brian.ing...@systematicsw.ab.ca> wrote: > On 2020-10-23 14:02, Jim McNamara via Cygwin wrote: > > I have : group everyone and my user sid as my ACLs with their permissions > > in cygwin.
