Yes. The lock just indicates if an ACL is going to be used or not. In this case the restriction is not ACL but the channel permission limit. It's somehow private (in the sense of not visible to everybody) but not really.

Another thing to remember is what Mike was mentioning in another discussion yesterday related to permissions: If the privacy of the post is set by a permission limit instead of a post-specific ACL, then if you switch channel permission roles, all the posts that were previously, for example, visible only to members of your hub could suddenly be public to anyone on the internet. This could not occur if you set an ACL.

I find in the Hubzilla help on the issue ACL only this example https://hub.freecommunication.org//help/en/developer/zot_protocol#What_is_Zot_ with Jaquelina and Roberto. Can you please send me links with descriptions, when I can set the permissions with ACL instead of permission limit?

You can set the ACL on post (item) creation time when you click on the button with the lock.

But you warn me in your comment

this case the restriction is not ACL but the channel permission limit.

Sigh... Since you obviously selected custom/expert mode as your channel permission role i would assume you know what you are doing...

You selected "Only connections i specifically allow" for your "Can view my channel stream and posts" limit. Hence if you try to make the ACL for a post public (by not attaching an ACL at all), we will not tell you it's public (because it's not public due to the limit you have set). Instead we will tell you that it is visible by whoever your limit allows. In fact you can never post anything public this way.

If you change your limit later, those posts will become public (since they are not limited anymore and don't have an ACL attached).

So, if you not sure what you are up to, please stick to one of the predefined roles and everything will be fine...

DIe Übersetzung vom 2. Absatz ist nicht ganz korrekt.

Öffentliche Beiträge haben keine ACL. Sie sind ja öffentlich...

Hence if you try to make the ACL for a post public (by not attaching an ACL at all), we will not tell you it's public (because it's not public due to the limit you have set).

Deshalb, wenn du die ACL für ein Post auf öffentlich stellst (in dem du keine ACL für diesen Post verwendest), sagt Hubzilla dir nicht das der Post öffentlich ist (weil der Post ja wegen dem eingestellten Limit nicht öffentlich ist).
