The webdav command client is a good example to, I found this piece of code for adding a permission to principal, what is a principal? I tried out the command client and It can be a role or a user, that is the path to a role or user, for example: /slide/roles/myrole <-- principal for a role /slide/users/myuser <-- principal for a user Correct me if Im wrong Thanks for the help
