What are Advanced ACL Permissions?
Advanced ACL (Access Control List) permissions refer to a storage space permission management feature developed by TerraMaster in new TOS 6 system. Compared to permissions in traditional Linux systems, Advanced ACL permissions not only provide basic read-only, read-write, and prohibit three common permissions, but also add 13 additional permissions that can be customized by users. This makes the storage space permission management more flexible and resilient, able to meet users' more diverse needs.

What are the functions of Advanced ACL Permissions?
Advanced ACL permissions have the following functions:
1. Apply to TOS system users and user groups.
2. The 13 newly added permissions are categorized into three main categories: Administration permissions, read permissions, and write permissions.
3. Administration permissions include modifying permissions and obtaining ownership.
4. Read permissions cover operations such as traversing folders/executing files, listing folders/reading data, reading attributes, reading extended attributes, and reading permissions.
5. Write permissions include creating files/writing data, creating folders/appending data, writing attributes, writing extended attributes, deleting subfolders/files, and deletion.
6. Administrators can enable or disable any of the above settings based on specific requirements.

What are the advantages of Advanced ACL Permissions?
TerraMaster's Advanced ACL permissions break through the traditional limitations of read and write permissions, providing more flexible permission settings. Administrators can separately configure Administration permissions, read permissions, and write permissions for users or user groups. Through Advanced ACL permissions, users can enjoy higher flexibility in usage while ensuring data security. Specifically, Advanced ACL permissions allow administrators to fine-tune permissions for users or user groups based on specific needs, ensuring data read and write access while preventing accidental deletion of data. This flexible approach to permission management makes TerraMaster's Advanced ACL permissions a powerful safeguard for enterprise data security.
