     - Use NFSv4 ACLs instead of POSIX ACLs.
+    - This feature uses C(nfs4_setfacl) and C(nfs4_getfacl). The behavior depends on those implementation.
+      And currently it only supports C(A) in ACE, so C(D) must be replaced with the appropriate C(A).
+    - Permission is set as optimised ACLs by the system. You can check the actual ACLs that has been set using the return value.
+    - More info C(man nfs4_setfacl)
