AFS ACLs (Access Control Lists)

AFS ACLs (Access Control Lists) are a security feature used in the Andrew File System (AFS) to manage who can access and interact with files and directories. An ACL specifies which users or groups have permissions to read, write, or modify resources. By assigning different levels of access to specific users, AFS helps protect sensitive information and ensures that only authorized individuals can perform certain actions. This system allows for fine-tuned control over data accessibility within a network, enhancing both security and collaboration.
