Getting Started with ACLs#

Since ACLs are an additional layer of authentication and are also stored in the database, using them has performance trade-offs.

Not everyone will need them, so they are turned off(set to 0) by default. To enable, you need to set the environment variable CEI_NEXUS_ENABLE_ACLS to 1. For example:

export CEI_NEXUS_ENABLE_ACLS=1

It can also be enabled via the Nexus Launcher command line and GUI.
