What are Linux ACLs?

Question

What are ACLs?

Answer

Access Control Lists, or ACLs, are an alternative method of managing permissions in a Linux system.

Please note that the cPanel & WHM software does not manage nor modify Linux ACLs.

If you are having any problems with permissions due to configured ACLs, we recommend that you contact the server administrator for further review.

Here are some resources on ACLs:
