enterprise level permissions question?

Can someone give me an example of Enterprise level permissions?

I've never heard that term used in reference to Unix... can you explain more about where you heard it, what context it was used in, why you'd like to know, etc?

re: enterprise level permissions

"Can the permissions get more granular?" Read, write, and execute are great but what about enterprise level permission. Can Unix do that out of the box or do you need extra tools?

As far as permissions go, read write and execute are pretty much all you have to use. What does your book say is the purpose of enterprise level permissions?

Possibly ACL (access control lists) is what the thread starter is asking for. Beyond that, I don't know any other methods to give even more fine-grained permission to files. Also note that only a few Unix OSes support ACL.

e.g. I found this:
