## Examples
### <a name="allow"></a> Allow extra privileged entitlement (--allow)
```text
--allow=ENTITLEMENT[=VALUE]
```
Entitlements are designed to provide controlled access to privileged
operations. By default, Buildx and BuildKit operates with restricted
permissions to protect users and their systems from unintended side effects or
security risks. The `--allow` flag explicitly grants access to additional
entitlements, making it clear when a build or bake operation requires elevated
privileges.
In addition to BuildKit's `network.host` and `security.insecure` entitlements
(see [`docker buildx build --allow`](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/buildx/build/#allow),
Bake supports file system entitlements that grant granular control over file
system access. These are particularly useful when working with builds that need
access to files outside the default working directory.
Bake supports the following filesystem entitlements:
- `--allow fs=<path|*>` - Grant read and write access to files outside of the
working directory.
- `--allow fs.read=<path|*>` - Grant read access to files outside of the
working directory.
- `--allow fs.write=<path|*>` - Grant write access to files outside of the
working directory.
The `fs` entitlements take a path value (relative or absolute) to a directory
on the filesystem. Alternatively, you can pass a wildcard (`*`) to allow Bake
to access the entire filesystem.
### Example: fs.read
Given the following Bake configuration, Bake would need to access the parent
directory, relative to the Bake file.
```hcl
target "app" {
context = "../src"
}
```
Assuming `docker buildx bake app` is executed in the same directory as the
`docker-bake.hcl` file, you would need to explicitly allow Bake to read from
the `../src` directory. In this case, the following invocations all work:
```console
$ docker buildx bake --allow fs.read=* app
$ docker buildx bake --allow fs.read=../src app
$ docker buildx bake --allow fs=* app
```
### Example: fs.write
The following `docker-bake.hcl` file requires write access to the `/tmp`
directory.
```hcl
target "app" {
output = "/tmp"
}
```
Assuming `docker buildx bake app` is executed outside of the `/tmp` directory,
you would need to allow the `fs.write` entitlement, either by specifying the
path or using a wildcard:
```console
$ docker buildx bake --allow fs=/tmp app
$ docker buildx bake --allow fs.write=/tmp app
$ docker buildx bake --allow fs.write=* app
```
### <a name="builder"></a> Override the configured builder instance (--builder)
Same as [`buildx --builder`](buildx.md#builder).
