  • setting is allow or deny
  • actor is the name of a user, a pattern with one or more wildcards (see Wildcards) string that will be matched against the user's name, or a group name or wildcard pattern followed by a space and the word group (eg "ADMIN group")

    • none
    • execute
    • read
    • update
