# /api/v1/pool

Manage **pools** — fylr's hierarchical containers for storage, permissions and metadata defaults. Pools form a tree; each pool can inherit ACL items and configuration from its parent.

Differs from easydb 5: a save that touches collection ACLs is confirmed with the `allow_invalid_acl` / `background_invalid_acl` / `background_invalid_acl_timelimit` query parameters instead of easydb 5's single `collection_rights_policy` parameter.

Differs from easydb 5: there is no separate `system.rights_management` right for updating rights-management attributes on the root pool — every save is gated on `system.poolmanager` (or `system.root`) plus the per-pool `bag_*` rights. (easydb 5 required `system.rights_management` for root-pool rights changes.)
