48 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
50 <para>The <command>smbcacls</command> program manipulates NT Access Control
51 Lists (ACLs) on SMB file shares. An ACL is comprised zero or more Access
52 Control Entries (ACEs), which define access restrictions for a specific
58 <title>OPTIONS</title>
60 <para>The following options are available to the <command>smbcacls</command> program.
61 The format of ACLs is described in the section ACL FORMAT </para>
66 <term>-a|--add acl</term>
67 <listitem><para>Add the entries specified to the ACL. Existing
68 access control entries are unchanged.</para></listitem>
74 <term>-M|--modify acl</term>
75 <listitem><para>Modify the mask value (permissions) for the ACEs
76 specified on the command line. An error will be printed for each
77 ACE specified that was not already present in the object's ACL.
84 <term>-D|--delete acl</term>
85 <listitem><para>Delete any ACEs specified on the command line.
86 An error will be printed for each ACE specified that was not
87 already present in the object's ACL. </para></listitem>
93 <term>-S|--set acl</term>
94 <listitem><para>This command sets the ACL on the object with
95 only what is specified on the command line. Any existing ACL
96 is erased. Note that the ACL specified must contain at least a revision,
97 type, owner and group for the call to succeed. </para></listitem>
103 <term>-C|--chown name</term>
104 <listitem><para>The owner of a file or directory can be changed
105 to the name given using the <parameter>-C</parameter> option.
106 The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name resolved
107 against the server specified in the first argument. </para>
109 <para>This command is a shortcut for -M OWNER:name.
116 <term>-G|--chgrp name</term>
117 <listitem><para>The group owner of a file or directory can
118 be changed to the name given using the <parameter>-G</parameter>
119 option. The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name
120 resolved against the server specified n the first argument.
123 <para>This command is a shortcut for -M GROUP:name.</para></listitem>
129 <term>-I|--inherit allow|remove|copy</term>
130 <listitem><para>Set or unset the windows "Allow inheritable
131 permissions" check box using the <parameter>-I</parameter>
132 option. To set the check box pass allow. To unset the check
133 box pass either remove or copy. Remove will remove all
134 inherited acls. Copy will copy all the inherited acls.
141 <term>--numeric</term>
142 <listitem><para>This option displays all ACL information in numeric
143 format. The default is to convert SIDs to names and ACE types
144 and masks to a readable string format. </para></listitem>
148 <term>-m|--max-protocol PROTOCOL_NAME</term>
149 <listitem><para>This allows the user to select the
150 highest SMB protocol level that smbcacls will use to
151 connect to the server. By default this is set to
152 NT1, which is the highest available SMB1 protocol.
153 To connect using SMB2 or SMB3 protocol, use the
154 strings SMB2 or SMB3 respectively. Note that to connect
155 to a Windows 2012 server with encrypted transport selecting
156 a max-protocol of SMB3 is required.
161 <term>-t|--test-args</term>
163 Don't actually do anything, only validate the correctness of
169 <term>--query-security-info FLAGS</term>
170 <listitem><para>The security-info flags for queries.

202 <title>ACL FORMAT</title>
204 <para>The format of an ACL is one or more entries separated by
205 either commas or newlines. An ACL entry is one of the following: </para>
207 <para><programlisting>
208 REVISION:<revision number>
209 OWNER:<sid or name>
210 GROUP:<sid or name>
211 ACL:<sid or name>:<type>/<flags>/<mask>
212 </programlisting></para>
215 <para>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows
216 NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.
217 If not specified it defaults to 1. Using values other than 1 may
218 cause strange behaviour. </para>
220 <para>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the
221 object. If a SID in the format S-1-x-y-z is specified this is used,
222 otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which
223 the file or directory resides. </para>
225 <para>ACEs are specified with an "ACL:" prefix, and define permissions
226 granted to an SID. The SID again can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format
227 or as a name in which case it is resolved against the server on which
228 the file or directory resides. The type, flags and mask values
229 determine the type of access granted to the SID. </para>
231 <para>The type can be either ALLOWED or DENIED to allow/deny access
232 to the SID. The flags values are generally zero for file ACEs and
233 either 9 or 2 for directory ACEs. Some common flags are: </para>
236 <listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT 0x1</constant></para></listitem>
237 <listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT 0x2</constant></para></listitem>
238 <listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT 0x4</constant></para></listitem>
239 <listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY 0x8</constant></para></listitem>
242 <para>At present, flags can only be specified as decimal or
243 hexadecimal values.</para>
245 <para>The mask is a value which expresses the access right
246 granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value,
247 or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT
248 file permissions of the same name. </para>
251 <listitem><para><emphasis>R</emphasis> - Allow read access </para></listitem>
252 <listitem><para><emphasis>W</emphasis> - Allow write access</para></listitem>
253 <listitem><para><emphasis>X</emphasis> - Execute permission on the object</para></listitem>
254 <listitem><para><emphasis>D</emphasis> - Delete the object</para></listitem>
255 <listitem><para><emphasis>P</emphasis> - Change permissions</para></listitem>
256 <listitem><para><emphasis>O</emphasis> - Take ownership</para></listitem>
260 <para>The following combined permissions can be specified:</para>
264 <listitem><para><emphasis>READ</emphasis> - Equivalent to 'RX'
265 permissions</para></listitem>
266 <listitem><para><emphasis>CHANGE</emphasis> - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
268 <listitem><para><emphasis>FULL</emphasis> - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO'
269 permissions</para></listitem>
274 <title>EXIT STATUS</title>
276 <para>The <command>smbcacls</command> program sets the exit status
277 depending on the success or otherwise of the operations performed.
278 The exit status may be one of the following values. </para>
280 <para>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit
281 status of 0. If <command>smbcacls</command> couldn't connect to the specified server,
282 or there was an error getting or setting the ACLs, an exit status
283 of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line
284 arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned. </para>
288 <title>VERSION</title>
290 <para>This man page is correct for version 4 of the Samba suite.</para>
294 <title>AUTHOR</title>
296 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
297 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
298 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
299 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
301 <para><command>smbcacls</command> was written by Andrew Tridgell
302 and Tim Potter.</para>
304 <para>The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done
305 by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done
306 by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
