The access control list manages access to topics for non-admin users. Each entry represents the access permissions for The access control list (ACL) **manages access to topics for non-admin users, and for anonymous access**. Each entry
a user to a specific topic or topic pattern. Here's an example ACL: represents the access permissions for a user to a specific topic or topic pattern.
**Modifying the ACL:**
The access control list can be displayed or modified with the `ntfy access` command:
```
ntfy access # Shows the entire access control list
ntfy access USERNAME # Shows access control entries for USERNAME
ntfy access USERNAME TOPIC PERMISSION # Allow/deny access for USERNAME to TOPIC
```
A `USERNAME` is an existing user, as created with `ntfy user add` (see [users and roles](#users-and-roles)), or the
anonymous user `everyone` or `*`, which represents clients that access the API without username/password.
A `TOPIC` is either a specific topic name (e.g. `mytopic`, or `phil_alerts`), or a wildcard pattern that matches any
number of topics (e.g. `alerts_*` or `ben-*`). Only the wildcard character `*` is supported. It stands for zero to any
number of characters.
A `PERMISSION` is any of the following supported permissions:
* `read-write` (alias: `rw`): Allows [publishing messages](publish.md) to the given topic, as well as
[subscribing](subscribe/api.md) and reading messages
* `read-only` (aliases: `read`, `ro`): Allows only subscribing and reading messages, but not publishing to the topic
* `write-only` (aliases: `write`, `wo`): Allows only publishing to the topic, but not subscribing to it
* `deny` (alias: `none`): Allows neither publishing nor subscribing to a topic
