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.
