Is it possible to set ACL on a path inside our custom maven AEM project? if yes how?

my co-worker created what supposedly is an editable template. (I have no experience with editable templates before so I'm taking their word on face value).
 
As part of the changes with their editable template, this file/folder was included (/conf/myapp/settings/wcm/template-types/empty-special-page).
 
The problem is that our authors require read access to that path before they can publish pages based on the editable template. I can easily setup the access to that path but every time we do a release, the ACL changes keeps getting overwritten.
 
I'm hoping it's hoping to setup the ACL on that path inside my custom maven project.
 
Thanks!

Hi @jayv25585659 ,
You easily do it by creating Repository Initialization (repoinit). You just need to create OSGI configuration. 
If your ACL are getting overwritten that means, you might already having this. Check this link.

Hi @jayv25585659 ,

In order to preserve ACL's you have set property

<properties>
    <acHandling>merge_preserve</acHandling>
</properties>

in ui.apps pom.xml

For more details please this article:

      You can set the permissions in repoInit file and push the changes with in build .

      Refer: sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/repository-initialization.html
