How does inheriting permissions work?

Hi everyone, trying to work out how datasets work on macOS re: inheriting permissions.

This is both the case for regular POSIX style permissions and ACLs.

I've tried to set inheritable permissions at the root of some datasets, e.g.:

Code: Select all
0: user:Solidee allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit


But I'm not sure if they'll inherit. Any wisdom or approaches would be much appreciated!
