fs_removeacl - Remove a file ACL
fs removeacl -path <file>+ [-help]
fs ra -p <file>+
The fs removeacl command removes any file specific ACL for the given file paths. The files are reset to inherit permissions from their parent directory. The command has no effect on files that do not have an ACL set, or on directories.
Names each AFS file or directory to run the command on. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted.
Specify the read/write path to avoid the failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume. By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example, /afs/.example.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount reference page.
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
The following example shows the effect of setting and then removing a file ACL. Note that while the file has an ACL set it is not affected by changes to its parent's ACL.
% fs setacl . system:anyuser all
% touch f1
% fs listacl -path f1
Access list for f1 is
Normal rights:
system:anyuser rlidwka
% fs setacl f1 -acl pat:friends rl
% fs listacl -path f1
Access list for f1 is
Normal rights:
system:anyuser rlidwka
pat:friends rl
% fs setacl . system:authuser all
% fs listacl -path f1
Access list for f1 is
Normal rights:
system:anyuser rlidwka
pat:friends rl
% fs removeacl -path f1
% fs listacl -path f1
Access list for f1 is
Normal rights:
system:authuser rlidwka
system:anyuser rlidwka
The issuer must have the a (administer) permission on the directory's ACL, a member of the system:administrators group, or, as a special case, must be the UID owner of the top-level directory of the volume containing this directory. The last provision allows the UID owner of a volume to repair accidental ACL errors without requiring intervention by a member of system:administrators.
