[SOLVED] How to open up access to a directory for a user using setfacl

Issue

I need to open up access to a directory for given user (user1) in a redhat machine. I'm using the setfacl command as follows

sudo setfacl -R -m u:user1:rwx /var/lib/docker/volumes/logs/_data

then I check the access using getfacl command and this is what I see

user::rwx
user:user1:rwx
group::r-x
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:user1:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x

Solution

You do it right.

Whenever an ACL contains any Default ACL entries, the three Default ACL base entries (default owner, default group, and default others) must also exist.
