     - If you're configuring an ACE for [file access logs](manage-file-access-logs.md), you must use the `U:` prefix to denote the ACE is an audit ACE. The following example configures an audit log for everyone for successful and failed access attempts:
-    `nfs4_setfacl -a U:fdiSF:EVERYONE@:rwaDdxtTnNcCoy /<mount_point>`
-
+    `nfs4_setfacl -a U:fdiSF:EVERYONE@:rwaDdxtTnNcCoy /<mount_point>`.
+    - To apply ACLs recursively on a directory and its contents, use the `-R` option with the `nfs4_setfacl` command. This option ensures the ACL changes are applied to all files and subdirectories within the specified directory.
