How can we set permission type on a file to a particular user in a group ?

hi

i want to set permission type "write" on a file to a particular user in a group of users ( not all users in that group).

chown is changing a user to root , but i want to set say permission of "write" only to a user 1 in group staff which contains 10 users 1 , user 2 ...user 10.

You can use ACL in order to do that.

Check the ACL part of the link below,

i know about the permissions and also aware of chown.

we can user chown to give make the root permissions but i dont want that.

i want to grant a "execute" to a particular user not group of users. also i dont want to give him all the permissions only "excecute" permission to user X in group 1.

For this purpose I create a separate group for each user. Because setfacl isn't standard and I just don't wanna mess with it.
1 user - 1 group; and all the permissions for this user and his group.
