The privilege specification is the second part of an Access Control List (ACL) entry. The privilege specification controls the access changes the user inherits from the parent of the object or directory to which the ACL belongs. The DMU format dictionary can make three types of changes to the user's list of inherited privileges: o The GRANT clause can add any privileges not already acquired by the user and not banished previously. o The DENY clause can remove any privileges the user had to the parent directory. o The BANISH clause can deny a privilege to a directory or object. A privilege banished by the ACL of a directory can never be granted by any entry in the ACL of any descendant in that directory. The CDO format dictionary can either grant or deny privileges to dictionaries or objects: o The GRANT clause can give any privilege. You must grant a right for the user to have that right. Any privilege not specifically granted is denied. o The DENY clause can specifically deny any privilege. Since the user is denied all access rights not specifically granted, you don't have to specify this clause. If you specify only this clause, any privilege not denied will be granted. If you specify both GRANT and DENY, privileges will be granted and denied in the order specified and any privilege not listed will be denied.
