Permission Target Name What the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission
hard Ability to add an existing file to a directory. This is sometimes known as creating a link, or hard link. Extreme care should be taken when granting this permission. It allows linking to any file or directory in the file system thus allowing the attacker access to all files.
