ID | Windows Permission | Included Permissions | Windows Notes | Unix Equivalent |
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. |
