    Subject: [zfs-discuss] Proposal: delegated administration

The following is the delegated admin model that Matt and I have been working on. At this point we are ready for your feedback on the proposed model.

    ...
    PERMISSION REVOKING

    zfs unallow <dataset> [-r] [-l] [-d]
        <"everyone"|user|group>[,<"everyone"|user|group>...] \
        <ability>[,<ability>...] <dataset>
    zfs unallow [-r][-l][-d] -u user <ability>[,<ability>...]  <dataset>
zfs unallow [-r][-l][-d] -g group <ability>[,<ability>...] <dataset>
    zfs unallow [-r][-l][-d] -e <ability>[,<ability>...]  <dataset>
Please, can we have "disallow" instead of "unallow"?  The former is a
real word, the latter isn't.

        -- Glenn


The reasoning behind unallow was to imply that you are simply removing an "allow". With *disallow* it would sound more like you are denying a permission.


Then make the removal operation another arg to "allow".

Or better yet, use a pair of words where you're not tempted to use bad English, such as "grant" and "revoke",
or just use "revoke" anyway?
