The owner, cmmiller, has permission bits rwx which is full access. Any other user in group csstaff has permission bits r-x which is browsing access can read and search without permission to add, rename or delete files in the directory.
Every other user, that is not cmmiller and not in group csstaff has permission bits which is no access. The user with login name cmmiller is the owner of the file. The owner will have permission modes according the the first three codes after the "d". The owner always can change permission modes with the chmod command. The directory is said to be owned by this group. Any user in group csstaff, except cmmiller, will have permissions granted according to the middle three codes in the permission modes.
Once you check to make sure a directory and all its files and sub-directories are owned by the correct group you can set the permission modes for everything with the one command. The chmod command can also be used to allow members of a group to put files in a directory. The owner of the directory can open a directory for shared writing with the command:. The "s" is the group set-ID setting, which means all new files in this group will be owned by the user putting them there, but the group ownership will be set to match the group of the directory rather than the current group of the owner.
This is the recommended way to keep group ownerships correct. This means only the owner of a file or the owner of the directory can delete or rename a file. This is recommended if several users will be putting files in the same directory. Whereas the chmod command determines the type of access that group members may have to a file or directory, the chgrp command determines which group may access that file or directory.
One of the most common mistakes in sharing files on a UNIX system is to forget to set file permissions or to set them incorrectly. If permissions are not set correctly, then a user will see the following message or a similar one when they try to access your directory or files:. Another common problem is to set file permissions for existing files, but to neglect to set permissions for newly created files. By default, others cannot access your files.
You must give explicit permissions to each file when it is created. Skip to main content. Unix Group Membership Users are organized into groups, where every user is in at least one group, and may be in other groups. Group ownership of Files and Directories Every file and directory has a username and a groupname associated with it.
