How do I create the .acl file to use the sharing tool?

.acl files are created in a hierarchical structure deriving from the initial authorization created by the Pod process creation.
/private : no owner read/write, no access from outside the Pod (cannot be changed ???)
/public : owner full control (even from outside the Pod), read for everybody

At folder creation the new folder inherit from is parent folder
By default files from a folder use the folder .acl file.

Their update is done through the UI sharing process :
a) It begins with updating the folder sharing :
. changing the authorization for the folder
. allow for .acl file level and
. set the global authorization for the contents
b) at file level if allowed by the folder

Better to have a link to a document explaining the proper way to edit sharing
