I need to open up access to a directory for given user (user1) in a redhat machine. I'm using the setfacl command as follows

sudo setfacl -R -m u:user1:rwx /var/lib/docker/volumes/logs/_data

then I check the access using getfacl command and this is what I see

user::rwx
user:user1:rwx
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:user1:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x

You do it right.

Whenever an ACL contains any Default ACL entries, the three Default ACL base entries (default owner, default group, and default others) must also exist.

  • what does this mean? could you explain more? If I have done it right why I'm getting a permission error then? – HHH Oct 16 '19 at 17:57
  • @HHH in your `getfacl` command all ok, you have rwx permissions note to line `user:user1:rwx` – mikesindieiev Oct 25 '19 at 09:31
