|FC |Full Control                |M, CP, TO, RX, DS, L (ALL)| |rwx (Read, Write, Execute)|
|M  |Modify                      |R, W, D                   | |rwx (Read, Write, Execute)|
|RX |Read & Execute              |R, T                      |(Does not include L as a separate permission, but allows listing of folder contents)|rx (Read, Execute)|
|R  |Read                        |RA, REA                   | |r (Read)|
|RA |Read Attributes             |None                      | |r (Read)|
|REA|Read Extended Attributes    |None                      | |r (Read)|
|T  |Traverse Folder/Execute File|None                      | |x (Execute)|
|L  |List Folder Contents        |None                      |(is equivalent to RX on folders, allowing the user to view and list folder contents)|r (Read)|
|W  |Write                       |WA, WEA                   | |w (Write)|
|WA |Write Attributes            |None                      | |Not directly equivalent in Unix. Unix does not have a separate permission for writing file attributes.|
|WEA|Write Extended Attributes   |None                      | |Not directly equivalent in Unix. Unix does not have a separate permission for writing extended attributes. |
|D  |Delete                      |None                      | |Not directly equivalent in Unix. Deletion of a directory or file is controlled by the permissions of the parent directory.|
|DS |Delete Subfolders and Files |None                      | |Not directly equivalent in Unix. In Unix write permission (`w`) on a directory allows deletion of files within that directory, but not deletion of the directory itself or its subdirectories.|
|CP |Change Permissions          |None                      | |w (Write)|
|TO |Take Ownership              |None                      | |Not directly equivalent in Unix. Ownership in Unix is managed separately from permissions.|


==== NFSv4 ACL Permissions ====

  * **r (Read Data / List Directory)**: Allows reading file contents or directory listing.
  * **w (Write Data / Add File)**: Allows modifying a file or adding a new file in a directory.
  * **x (Execute / Traverse)**: Allows executing a file or traversing a directory.
  * **p (Append Data / Add Subdirectory)**: Allows appending data or adding a subdirectory.
  * **a (Append Data / Modify Directory)**: Allows appending data or modifying a directory.
  * **A (Read Attributes)**: Allows reading basic attributes like timestamps.
  * **R (Read Named Attributes)**: Allows reading extended attributes.
  * **W (Write Named Attributes)**: Allows writing or modifying extended attributes.
  * **c (Read ACL)**: Allows reading the ACL.
  * **C (Write ACL)**: Allows modifying the ACL.
  * **o (Write Owner)**: Allows changing the file or directory ownership.
  * **s (Synchronize)**: Ensures file changes are synchronized to storage immediately.
  * **d (Delete)**: Allows deleting a file or directory.
  * **D (Delete Child)**: Allows deleting a file or directory within a directory.
  * **t (Read Attributes, NFSv4 specific)**: Allows reading ACL-related attributes.
  * **T (Write Attributes, NFSv4 specific)**: Allows modifying ACL-related attributes.
  * **N (Read Named Attributes, NFSv4 specific)**: Allows reading NFSv4-specific named attributes.

==== Combined Permissions ====

  * **Read (rxaRc)**: Read, execute/traverse, append, read named attributes, read ACL.
  * **Modify (rwxpdcaARWco)**: Read, write, execute/traverse, append, delete, read ACL, append/modify directory, read attributes, read/write named attributes, write owner.
  * **Traverse (x)**: Execute/traverse directory.
  * **Full Control (rwxpdDaARWcCos)**: All permissions, including delete child, synchronize, and full control over attributes and ACLs.
