One of the coolest things about AFS are the users and groups.

Standard users can create new groups. They become the owner of that group and can add people to it, and then use that group for ACLs.

The main tool here is pts. See OpenAfsUserCrashCourse.

  • facts:*
  • users have positive IDs
  • groups have negative IDs
  • system:* users are special:
system:anyuser All users
system:authuser Logged in users
system:administrators This is where the cool people go. They can do anything.
