Explain the different kinds of permissions in Linux.
The Linux System has three types of owners: user, group, and others. These owners are granted one of the three categories of permissions indicated below:
- Read (r): it enables the user to list the directory or open and read a file.
- Write (w): it enables the user to access and edit the file, as well as add new files to the directory.
- Execute (x): it enables the user to run or execute the file and search for a particular file inside of a directory.
The chmod
command can be used for changing the permissions of a specific file or directory.
