# SecurityACLFormat

The format of your custom access control list (ACL). This parameter is used only by the `AUTONOMY_SECURITY_V4_GENERIC_MAPPED` security type.

To define a generic security type, you must set `SecurityACLFormat` and SecurityACLCheck. For more information, refer to the IDOL Document Security Administration Guide.

`CheckString` | `ACLValue Operator UserValue "?" MatchAction ":" NoMatchAction`
`ACLValue` | `"'" String "'" | ACLFieldName`
`Operator` | `"=" | "~=" | "&=" | "~&=" | "=~" | "=&" | "=&~"`

Property | Definition
--- | ---
`B` | Boolean type (equivalent to Digit type)
`D` | Digit type
`S` | String type
`L` | Comma-separated list (S)
`E` | Encrypted (S)
`X` | Escaped (S)
`C` | Case insensitive (S)
`+` | Positive terms (S)
`-` | Negative terms (S)
`!` | Everyone flag (B | D)

The following table describes the operators that you can use between the `ACLValue` and `UserValue` in the `SecurityACLCheck` configuration parameter:

Operator | Definition | Usage
--- | --- | ---
`=` | Returns true if there is at least one match. |
`~=` | Returns true if there is at least one match, or if there is nothing in the `ACLValue` to check. |
`&=` | Returns true only if every value in `ACLValue` matches a value in `UserValue`. There must be at least one match. | Valid only when the `UserValue` is `[G]`, `[GROUP]`, `[DG]`, or `[DOMAINGROUP]`.
`~&=` | Returns true if every value in `ACLValue` matches a value in `UserValue`, or if there is nothing in the `ACLValue` to check. | Valid only when the `UserValue` is `[G]`, `[GROUP]`, `[DG]`, or `[DOMAINGROUP]`.
`=~` | Returns true if there is at least one match, or if there is nothing in the `UserValue` to check. | Valid only when the `UserValue` is `[G]`, `[GROUP]`, `[DG]`, or `[DOMAINGROUP]`.
`=&` | Returns true only if every value in `UserValue` matches a value in `ACLValue`. There must be at least one match. | Valid only when the `UserValue` is `[G]`, `[GROUP]`, `[DG]`, or `[DOMAINGROUP]`.
`=&~` | Returns true if every value in `UserValue` matches a value in `ACLValue`, or if there is nothing in the `UserValue` to check. | Valid only when the `UserValue` is `[G]`, `[GROUP]`, `[DG]`, or `[DOMAINGROUP]`.

The following table describes the possible values of `ValueType` in the `SecurityACLCheck` configuration parameter:

Value Type | Definition
--- | ---
`[U], [USER]` | User name only
`[DU], [DOMAINUSER]` | Domain\User name or User name if \ exists
`[G], [GROUP]` | Group only
`[DG], [DOMAINGROUP]` | Domain\Group or Group if \ exists
`[D], [DOMAIN]` | Domain only
`[P], [PASSWORD]` | Password only

The following table describes the possible actions that can be used in the `SecurityACLCheck` configuration parameter:

Action | Definition
--- | ---
`F, FAIL` | Fail
`P, PASS` | Pass
`C, -, CONTINUE` | Continue
`Number N` | Skip the next N checks
