Ask HN: Modern solution for fine grained access controls in file systems?

I have used NFSv4 ACLs extensively to manage permissions at a very granular level in file systems. However, I haven’t found a modern replacement for NFSv4 ACLs + NFS that I can use to mount in both Linux (and ideally also Windows) computers.

S3+S3FS supports only POSIX permissions, EFS does not support NFSv4 ACLs,

Honestly - the best permissions system out there is Active Directory

Yeah - the MS haters are gonna downvote this into oblivion

Does not change that MS with AD (and NTFS underneath) really mastered file and file system permissions in the late 20th century
