Desired acl is split in to two if all apply_to keys are set to True for SLAG acls.

API -/protocols/file-security/permissions/{svm.uuid}/{path}/acl

verb - POST

Trying to add an acl using the above API with body

{'access': 'access_allow', 'access_control': 'slag', 'apply_to': {'files': True, 'sub_folders': True, 'this_folder': True}, 'propagation_mode': 'replace', 'user': 'SERVER12\\user1'}

but it configured as 2 acls, verified with API GET - /protocols/file-security/permissions/{svm.uuid}/{path}

{'access': 'access_allow', 'access_control': 'slag', 'advanced_rights': {... response skipped }, 'apply_to': {'sub_folders': True, 'this_folder': True}, 'user': 'SERVER12\\user1'}, {'access': 'access_allow', 'access_control': 'slag', 'advanced_rights': {... response skipped }, 'apply_to': {'files': True}, 'user': 'SERVER12\\user1'}

sometimes I find this behavior in file-directory acls too, is this expected one? REST API documentation does not have any info on this split behaviour.

Thanks,

Mohan

Hi @MOHANRAJB

Looks like no one from the community has been able to answer your question so far.

Just a suggestion, but we do have a fairly active #ontap-api channel in our NetApp Community Discord. Consider jumping onto that and asking your query there.

Hope this helps.
