I started to try and create an ACI using the ones within FreeIPA as a reference, but if there's a GUI that would be useful too.  I checked out Apache Directory Studio which looks nice, but doesn't seem to support the schema that FreeIPA is using.

I use Apache Directory Studio to edit FreeIPA LDAP objects and I can
also see and edit ACIs. The schema shouldn't be a problem, because the
editor can read the schema data from the LDAP server. Which kind of
problems are you seeing ?
