Interface UserClassFilePermissions

All Known Subinterfaces:
ConfigurableUserClassFilePermissions
public interface UserClassFilePermissions
Describes file and directory access permissions for a certain class of users (see FilePermissions).

Permissions consist of:

  • READ access: the capability to view the contents of a file, or to list the contents of a directory
  • WRITE access: the capability to modify or remove the contents of a file, or to add or remove files to/from a directory
  • EXECUTE access: the capability to run a file as a program; executing a directory doesn't really make sense, it's more like a traverse permission; for example, a user must have 'execute' access to the 'bin' directory in order to execute the 'ls' or 'cd' commands.
