Understanding file protection

How the system generates an ACL

Whenever a file is created, the system initializes an ACL for the file that contains a user entry for the owner permissions, a group entry for the owning group permissions, a class entry for the owning group permissions, and an other entry for the other group permissions. Additional entries may be added by the user, or as a result of default entries specified on the parent directory.
