How to set default permissions in setfacl?
With setfacl you can set default permissions but not default owner/group for newly created files. To get new files to be owned by a specific user, you’d need a setuid bit that works like the setgid bit on directories. Unfortunately that is not implemented.
How to set default file permissions for all folders / files?
Lets call the group “media”. And also, the folders/files created within the directory should have g+rw automatically. This is an addition to Chris’ answer, it’s based on my experience on my Arch Linux rig. This creates the default rules for newly created files/dirs within the html directory and sub directories.
How to set permissions for a specific user?
To get new files to be owned by a specific user, you’d need a setuid bit that works like the setgid bit on directories. Unfortunately that is not implemented. With setfacl you can do something which is nearly equivalent in most scenarios: You can set an ACL like default:user:teamlead:rwx (e.g. setfacl -d -m u:teamlead:rwx foo ).
How to set Linux default access control list?
Because created directories will have user:r-x -> mask will be r-x -> effective permission will be r-x. For files: they will have r– so mask will be r– and effective permissions for ACLs will be r–, too. (If you create a file and give it a user::r-x permissions, then mask will be modified and users form acl’s will get the x, too)
