I'd like to ADD myself (already in the webapps group) with drwxrwxrwx permission to the whole folder recursively:

$ ls -l /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps
total 67904
drwxrwxrwx 3 root    webapps     4096 Oct  1 21:39 ROOT
drwxrwxrwx 8 tomcat8 tomcat8     4096 Oct 11 18:01 AppWeb
-rwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat8 tomcat8 69522664 Oct 11 18:01 AppWeb.war

I don't want to remove permissions from users that already have it.

Other posts either come close to helping me or I don't understand, because I'm new.

It may help to know:

$ getent group webapps
webapps:x:1002:tony,root,tomcat8

Now, I have to run SUDO ls -l /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps just to see the original permissions because "Permission denied" for me – Mr. Butterworth Oct 27 '16 at 15:55
I typed setfacl -m u:tony:rw /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps Didn't I do it right? Anybody? Bueller? Thanks. – Mr. Butterworth Oct 27 '16 at 16:17
Ouch. That should have been setfacl -m u:tony:rwx /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps. I'll correct that answer now. – muru Oct 27 '16 at 16:18
Okay, using sudo, I'm back where I began. :) that's good. :) I'm still not listed when running the ls -l command. :\ – Mr. Butterworth Oct 27 '16 at 16:25
ls won't show ACL attributes (try getfacl instead) – muru Oct 27 '16 at 16:25
OMG, thank you! thanks for your time, thanks for helping me. :) – Mr. Butterworth Oct 27 '16 at 16:44
