    }
    System.out.println();

    UserPrincipalLookupService upls = file.getFileSystem().getUserPrincipalLookupService();
    UserPrincipal user = upls.lookupPrincipalByName(System.getProperty("user.name"));
    AclEntry.Builder builder = AclEntry.newBuilder();       
    builder.setPermissions( EnumSet.of(AclEntryPermission.READ_DATA, AclEntryPermission.EXECUTE, 
            AclEntryPermission.READ_ACL, AclEntryPermission.READ_ATTRIBUTES, AclEntryPermission.READ_NAMED_ATTRS,
            AclEntryPermission.WRITE_ACL, AclEntryPermission.DELETE
    ));
    builder.setPrincipal(user);
    builder.setType(AclEntryType.ALLOW);
    aclAttr.setAcl(Collections.singletonList(builder.build()));
}
