DAV Explorer ACL Reports

DAV Explorer provides the four different ACL reports specified in RFC 3744, which can be selected from the Access Control menu:

Access Control Menu

Principal-Property-Set Report

To retrieve a report of the properties of a selected resource, first select the resource, and then select the "Principal-Property-Set Report" entry of the Access Control menu.

DAV Explorer then asks for the properties to report:

In this dialog, the left list shows the available properties, and the right list shows the selected properties. Properties in the left list can be selected and added to the right list using the right arrow button ("=>"). Properties can be removed from the right list by selecting them and pressing the left arrow button ("<=").

DAV Explorer then retrieves the requested properties and shows the Principal-Property-Set dialog:
