What is the command line equivalent of "Apply ownership and permissions to enclosed items"?

[tnielsen]

I was attempting to reset ACL and permission bits to root:wheel 775 to a folder and all subfolder. Then add a specific user to that ACL list as well, let's say the username is Tim.
So on a folder and all subfolders/files I want the following permissions:

root (owner) 7
wheel(group) 5
everyone 5
tim 7 (read/write)

I have been using:

chmod -R +a <folder> "tim allow read,write"

When it's all said and done, I want the finder window to NOT SHOW CUSTOM permissions and show simply "read/write".

Second question: What is the command line option to "apply to enclosed items" in the finder menu? Let's say I wanted to perpetuate the current permissions to all subfolders/files. Is there an easy command to do this?

[tnielsen]

chown -R root:wheel <folder>
chmod -R -a "tim allow read,write" test

The folder permissions end up still showing custom for user "tim".

and i figured it out, had to read the current permission list with:

ls -le

then simply copied the settings the finder menu gives to "read/write". the command that answers my own question is:

sudo chmod -R +a "tim allow list,list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity" test

The user then shows read/write in the finder menu permissions pane.
That was annoying.

Hello, could you help me understand how to apply this to the files and folders found in a Final Cut Pro Library file (Users/Shared/jamf_manage/Jamf_Test1.fcpbundle). Students are saving their library file in the Shared folder for other users on the machine to have access to. The students can change the permissions on Jamf_Test1.fcpbundle to read&write, however it does not apply the change to the files located in Jamf_Test1.fcpbundle. I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.
