.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Bl -tag -width ""
.It Xo
.Nm zfs
.Cm allow
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume
.Xc
Displays permissions that have been delegated on the specified filesystem or
volume.
See the other forms of
.Nm zfs Cm allow
for more information.
.Pp
Delegations are supported under Linux with the exception of
.Sy mount ,
.Sy unmount ,
.Sy mountpoint ,
.Sy canmount ,
.Sy rename ,
and
.Sy share .
These permissions cannot be delegated because the Linux
.Xr mount 8
command restricts modifications of the global namespace to the root user.

.Op Fl dl
.Fl e Ns | Ns Sy everyone
.Ar perm Ns | Ns @ Ns Ar setname Ns Oo , Ns Ar perm Ns | Ns @ Ns
.Ar setname Oc Ns …
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume
.Xc
Delegates ZFS administration permission for the file systems to non-privileged
users.
.Bl -tag -width "-d"
.It Fl d
Allow only for the descendent file systems.
.It Fl e Ns | Ns Sy everyone
Specifies that the permissions be delegated to everyone.
.It Fl g Ar group Ns Oo , Ns Ar group Oc Ns …
Explicitly specify that permissions are delegated to the group.
.It Fl l
Allow
.Qq locally
only for the specified file system.
.It Fl u Ar user Ns Oo , Ns Ar user Oc Ns …
Explicitly specify that permissions are delegated to the user.
.It Ar user Ns | Ns Ar group Ns Oo , Ns Ar user Ns | Ns Ar group Oc Ns …
Specifies to whom the permissions are delegated.
Multiple entities can be specified as a comma-separated list.
If neither of the
.Fl gu
options are specified, then the argument is interpreted preferentially as the
keyword
.Sy everyone ,
then as a user name, and lastly as a group name.
To specify a user or group named
.Qq everyone ,
use the
.Fl g
or
.Fl u
options.
To specify a group with the same name as a user, use the
.Fl g
options.
.It Xo
.Ar perm Ns | Ns @ Ns Ar setname Ns Oo , Ns Ar perm Ns | Ns @ Ns
.Ar setname Oc Ns …
.Xc
The permissions to delegate.
Multiple permissions may be specified as a comma-separated list.
Permission names are the same as ZFS subcommand and property names.
See the property list below.
Property set names, which begin with
.Sy @ ,
may be specified.
See the
.Fl s
form below for details.
.El
.Pp
If neither of the
.Fl dl
options are specified, or both are, then the permissions are allowed for the
file system or volume, and all of its descendents.
.Pp
Permissions are generally the ability to use a ZFS subcommand or change a ZFS
property.
The following permissions are available:

to the creator of any newly-created descendent file system.

.Xc
Defines or adds permissions to a permission set.
The set can be used by other
.Nm zfs Cm allow
commands for the specified file system and its descendents.
Sets are evaluated dynamically, so changes to a set are immediately reflected.
Permission sets follow the same naming restrictions as ZFS file systems, but the
name must begin with
.Sy @ ,
and can be no more than 64 characters long.

.Xc
Removes permissions that were granted with the
.Nm zfs Cm allow
command.
No permissions are explicitly denied, so other permissions granted are still in
effect.
For example, if the permission is granted by an ancestor.
If no permissions are specified, then all permissions for the specified
.Ar user ,
.Ar group ,
or
.Sy everyone
are removed.
Specifying
.Sy everyone
.Po or using the
.Fl e
option
.Pc
only removes the permissions that were granted to everyone, not all permissions
for every user and group.
See the
.Nm zfs Cm allow
command for a description of the
.Fl ldugec
options.
.Bl -tag -width "-r"
.It Fl r
Recursively remove the permissions from this file system and all descendents.

If no permissions are specified, then all permissions are removed, thus removing
the set entirely.

.Sh EXAMPLES
.\" These are, respectively, examples 17, 18, 19, 20 from zfs.8
.\" Make sure to update them bidirectionally
.Ss Example 1 : No Delegating ZFS Administration Permissions on a ZFS Dataset
The following example shows how to set permissions so that user
.Ar cindys
can create, destroy, mount, and take snapshots on
.Ar tank/cindys .
The permissions on
.Ar tank/cindys
are also displayed.
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Sy cindys create , Ns Sy destroy , Ns Sy mount , Ns Sy snapshot Ar tank/cindys
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar tank/cindys
---- Permissions on tank/cindys --------------------------------------
Local+Descendent permissions:
        user cindys create,destroy,mount,snapshot
.Ed
.Pp
Because the
.Ar tank/cindys
mount point permission is set to 755 by default, user
.Ar cindys
will be unable to mount file systems under
.Ar tank/cindys .
Add an ACE similar to the following syntax to provide mount point access:
.Dl # Cm chmod No A+user: Ns Ar cindys Ns :add_subdirectory:allow Ar /tank/cindys
.
.Ss Example 2 : No Delegating Create Time Permissions on a ZFS Dataset
The following example shows how to grant anyone in the group
.Ar staff
to create file systems in
.Ar tank/users .
This syntax also allows staff members to destroy their own file systems, but not
destroy anyone else's file system.
The permissions on
.Ar tank/users
are also displayed.
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar staff Sy create , Ns Sy mount Ar tank/users
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Fl c Sy destroy Ar tank/users
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar tank/users
---- Permissions on tank/users ---------------------------------------
Permission sets:
        destroy
Local+Descendent permissions:
        group staff create,mount
.Ed
.
.Ss Example 3 : No Defining and Granting a Permission Set on a ZFS Dataset
The following example shows how to define and grant a permission set on the
.Ar tank/users
file system.
The permissions on
.Ar tank/users
are also displayed.
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Fl s No @ Ns Ar pset Sy create , Ns Sy destroy , Ns Sy snapshot , Ns Sy mount Ar tank/users
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow staff No @ Ns Ar pset tank/users
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar tank/users
---- Permissions on tank/users ---------------------------------------
Permission sets:
        @pset create,destroy,mount,snapshot
Local+Descendent permissions:
        group staff @pset
.Ed
.
.Ss Example 4 : No Delegating Property Permissions on a ZFS Dataset
The following example shows to grant the ability to set quotas and reservations
on the
.Ar users/home
file system.
The permissions on
.Ar users/home
are also displayed.
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar cindys Sy quota , Ns Sy reservation Ar users/home
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar users/home
---- Permissions on users/home ---------------------------------------
Local+Descendent permissions:
        user cindys quota,reservation
cindys% zfs set quota=10G users/home/marks
cindys% zfs get quota users/home/marks
NAME              PROPERTY  VALUE  SOURCE
users/home/marks  quota     10G    local
.Ed
.
.Ss Example 5 : No Removing ZFS Delegated Permissions on a ZFS Dataset
The following example shows how to remove the snapshot permission from the
.Ar staff
group on the
.Sy tank/users
file system.
The permissions on
.Sy tank/users
are also displayed.
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
.No # Nm zfs Cm unallow Ar staff Sy snapshot Ar tank/users
.No # Nm zfs Cm allow Ar tank/users
---- Permissions on tank/users ---------------------------------------
Permission sets:
        @pset create,destroy,mount,snapshot
Local+Descendent permissions:
        group staff @pset
