ACL Adjustments field shows whether it is enabled/disabled for the server to be added.
An access control list (ACL) tells a computer operating system which access rights each user has to a particular system object, such as a file directory or individual file. This can range from allowing anyone change or delete a folder, right through to only allowing one user view a specific file. HC permits the host to enable/disable ACL adjustments for files and folders across websites in the cluster. To adjust these permissions login as a Web Admin and navigate to the following location:
Manage Websites >> My Websites >> Website Properties >> Folders & Security >> Folder Manager >> View/Set/Remove Permissions
Click ACL Permissions, select website name in Folders. Click Select Folder and then folder on which permissions have to be set.
