NAME

       setcifsacl  -  Userspace  helper  to  alter  components of a security descriptor for Common Internet File
       System (CIFS)

SYNOPSIS

          setcifsacl [-v|-U|-a|-A|-D|-M|-S|-o|-g] "{one or more ACEs or a SID}" {file system object}

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.

       setcifsacl is a userspace helper program for the Linux CIFS client file system. It is intended  to  alter
       an  ACL  or  set  owner/group  SID  of a security descriptor for a file system object. Whether a security
       descriptor to be set is applied or not is determined by the CIFS/SMB server.

       This  program  uses  a  plugin  to  handle   the   mapping   of   user   and   group   names   to   SIDs.
       /etc/cifs-utils/idmap-plugin should be a symlink that points to the correct plugin to use.

OPTIONS

       -h     Print usage message and exit.

       -v     Print version number and exit.

       -U     Apply  ACE  editing actions (-a, -D, -M, -S) to SACL (aUdit ACL). The actions are appliend to DACL
              if -U is not specified.

       -a     Add one or more ACEs to an ACL of a security descriptor.  An ACE is added even  if  the  same  ACE
              exists in the ACL.

       -A     Add one or more ACEs to the ACL of a security descriptor, while maintaining the preferred order of
              the ACEs.  The preferred order of ACEs are described in the following documentation:
               <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/order-of-aces-in-a-dacl>

       -D     Delete one or more ACEs from an ACL of a security descriptor.  Entire  ACE  has  to  match  in  an
              existing ACL for the listed ACEs to be deleted.

       -M     Modify  one or more ACEs from an ACL of a security descriptor.  SID and type are used to match for
              existing ACEs to be modified with the list of ACEs specified.

       -S     Set an ACL of security descriptor with the list of ACEs Existing ACL is replaced entirely with the
              specified ACEs.

       -o     Set owner SID to one specified as a command line argument.

       -g     Set group SID to one specified as a command line argument.

              The  owner/group  SID  can be specified as a name or a raw SID value.  Every ACE entry starts with
              "ACL:" One or more ACEs are specified within double quotes.  Multiple  ACEs  are  separated  by  a
              comma.

              Following fields of a DACL ACE can be modified with possible values:

              • SID - Either a name or a raw SID value.

              • type - ALLOWED (0x0), DENIED (0x1), OBJECT_ALLOWED (0x5), OBJECT_DENIED (0x6)

              • flags    -    OBJECT_INHERIT_FLAG   (OI   or   0x1),   CONTAINER_INHERIT_FLAG   (CI   or   0x2),
                NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT_FLAG (NI or 0x4), INHERIT_ONLY_FLAG (IO or 0x8), INHERITED_ACE_FLAG (IA  or
                0x10) or a combination/OR of these values.

              • mask  - Either one of FULL, CHANGE, READ, a combination of R W X D P O, or a hex value.

              Following fields of a SACL ACE can be modified with possible values:

              • SID - Either a name or a raw SID value.

              • type  -  AUDIT  (0x2),  AUDIT_OBJECT  (0x7),  AUDIT_CALLBACK (0xD), AUDIT_CALLBACK_OBJECT (0xF),
                MANDATORY_LABEL (0x11), RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTE (0x12), SCOPED_POLICY_ID (0x13)

              • flags - SUCCESSFULL_ACCESS (SA or 0x40), FAILED_ACCESS (FA or 0x80)

              • mask  - Either one of FULL, CHANGE, READ, a combination of R W X D P O, or a hex value.

EXAMPLES

   Add an ACE
          setcifsacl -a "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user2:DENIED/0x1/D" <file_name>

          setcifsacl -a "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user1:ALLOWED/OI|CI|NI/D" <file_name>

          setcifsacl -U -a "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user1:AUDIT/SA/D" <file_name>

   Add an ACE and reorder ACL
          setcifsacl     -A      "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser3:ALLOWED/OI/FULL"      <file_name>      setcifsacl      -A
          "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser2:DENIED/0x1/D"               <file_name>               setcifsacl              -A
          "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser1:ALLOWED/OI|CI|NI/D" <file_name>

          After setting above mentioned ACEs, below is output of  getcifsacl:  ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser2:DENIED/0x1/D
          ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser3:ALLOWED/OI/FULL ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser1:ALLOWED/OI|CI|NI/D

          setcifsacl -D "ACL:S-1-1-0:0x1/OI/0x1201ff" <file_name>

          setcifsacl -U -D "ACL:S-1-1-0:0x2/FA/0xf01ff" <file_name>

   Modify an ACE
          setcifsacl -M "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user1:ALLOWED/0x1f/CHANGE" <file_name>

          setcifsacl -U -M "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user1:AUDIT_OBJECT/SA/CHANGE" <file_name>

   Set an ACL
          setcifsacl      -S     "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\Administrator:0x0/0x0/FULL,ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user2:0x0/0x0/FULL"
          <file_name>

          setcifsacl  -U  -S   "ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\Administrator:AUDIT/SA/FULL,ACL:CIFSTESTDOM\user2:0x7/0x80/FULL"
          <file_name>

   Set owner SID
          setcifsacl -o "S-1-5-21-3338130290-3403600371-1423429424-2102" <file_name>

   Set group SID
          setcifsacl -g " <Administrators@BUILTIN> " <file_name>
