A secure filesystem is an extension to the local filesystem and used when the file access needs to be limited access to specific users and groups. A secure filesystem required a special file called .access to be placed inside each restricted directory of the filesystem, which allows the administrator to give different access privileges to named users and groups.

This sample contains a jar file containing a folder named Sales with an .access file and one report sample.

Contents of .access file:

#This is a comment
read:Sharon
write:Jane
