Class name for unix-like permission object

Question

I have a class for storing unix-like permissions for a user, group, and others. In principle, this is a limited access control list, but I do not want to call it an ACL, because usually an ACL is something else.

The class looks basically like this:

class X {
  boolean userRead, userWrite, userExecute;
  boolean groupRead, groupWrite, groupExecute;
  boolean otherRead, otherWrite, otherExecute;
}

What to call such a class? What is Unix called?

Answer 1

Often for such questions, the answer is in the question. I would call it the Permissionscomment above saying "Unix-like permissions for the user, group, and others."

Answer 2

Answer 3
