I would like to setup a small office network based on ubuntu machines to replace the current based on windows. One of the requirements is to setup a samba share for file sharing. The problem is that unix permission system of user-group-others isn't granular enough to offer same functionality as NTFS permissions.

I had a look around and found setfacl which looks like it could do the job in terms of replacing NTFS, however I don't want to have to setup the permissions manually via the CLI.

Q1: Is there a GUI for setfacl?
Q2: Are there alternatives to setfacl to offer similar functionality as NTFS also equiped with a GUI?
