## TL;DR
List of [permission tags][syntax descriptions for setting acls] and [inheritance options][acl inheritance].
When **setting** permissions, the _execute_ flag can be set to the **uppercase** `X` instead of the **lowercase** `x`.<br/>
The uppercase `X` permission allows execution only if the target is a directory or if the execute permission has already been set for the user or group.
BSD systems use NFSv4 ACLs by default in ZFS.

## Set default permissions for files and directories
Suppose you want a folder to set the default permissions of newly created files and directories to `0664` (`-rw-rw-r--`) and `0775` (`drwxrwxr-x`) respectively.

The best way to achieve this would be to set up it's ACLs accordingly.
