Can IFS be set up so that new files inherit the ACL of the folder they are created in

Question

I realise that a file created or saved in IFS takes on the ACL of the User who created it. This is fine if users always save items into the same folders or belong to a single group. However, it causes problems when users need to save different items in many folders, each of which may have different audiences/require different security.
With this in mind, is it possible to set up IFS so that a file inherits the ACL of the folder in which it was created/saved, at creation/saving point?
I'd appreciate any info on this, as have read the documentation and couldn't find any info on it.
Cheers,

Answer 1

We are faced the same problem.
So I wrote a script that syncs ACLs of the files and folders they're in only if differs.
I use SQL script that generates ifsshell script and then it is run from the client. See below
The content of aclsync.sql :
set serveroutput on size 1000000
set feed off
set term off
spool aclsync.txt
begin
     dbms_output.put_line('login system/manager');
     for X in (     select
                                   I.object_id, F.acl_id
                              from
                                   ifs_folder_items I,
                                   ifs_folders F
                              where
                                        I.folder_id = F.folder_id
                              and     I.type = 'DOCUMENT'
                              and     F.acl_id != I.acl_id) loop
          dbms_output.put_line('setattr -id '||X.object_id||' acl -avid '||X.acl_id);
     end loop;
dbms_output.put_line('exit');
end;
spool off
set term on feed on
exit
And the content of the batch file that calls above mentioned script and executes its output
sqlplus -s ifssys/ifssys@IFS @aclsync
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\"Program Files"\Oracle\"Oracle 9iFS CmdLine"
ifsshell -i aclsync.txt
Anyway
I'd appreciate some automatic way of doing that.
