Description

This location should probably have full documentation about the ACL subsystem. https://docs.chef.io/api_chef_server.html

Currently the only documentation for those functions is in https://github.com/chef/knife-acl

This explains at a very high level how the ACL system works https://github.com/chef/chef-server/blob/master/doc/ChefServerPermissions_v1.3.pdf

Research direction

Start with the API documentation at docs.chef.io/api_chef_server.html, then review the existing ACL function documentation in the knife-acl repository and the ChefServerPermissions_v1.3.pdf overview. Done means the ACL subsystem's REST functions are documented in the Chef Server API documentation location.
