## Introduction
44
To share files on the cluster with other users, we recommend using NFSv4 Access Control Lists (ACL) for a user to share access to their data with others. NFSv4 ACL mechanism allows for fine-grained control access to any files by any users or groups of users. We discourage users from setting `777` permissions with `chmod`, because this can lead to data loss (by a malicious user or unintentionally, by accident).

Torch supports NFSv4 ACLs rather than the POSIX ACLs supported by Greene! NFSv4 ACLs allow for more fine grained control when compared to POSIX ACLs.
