Answer 2

Hello @Pepeazure,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you need update information about POSIX compliance in ADLS Gen2.

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2) includes support for POSIX-compliant access control lists (ACLs), which offer detailed access management for files and directories. ADLS Gen2's hierarchical file system adheres to POSIX standards, allowing ACLs to be set at both the directory and file levels for precise security controls.

For updates or specific features regarding POSIX compliance in ADLS Gen2, it's a good idea to check the official Azure updates or the Azure blog.
