How do I assign different permission to different group?

nghoangquang · 10-24-2014, 10:01 AM

If I have three group, A B and C and a directory called Test and I want group A to be able to read/write and execute, group B to only be able to Write and Execute and group C only to be able to read. How would I do this in the command line? Any help is appreciated.

If this is homework please read the LQ Rules. For your convenience I repeat one here:

You can have a look at this site and then post your attempt at a command. We will be glad to help you if you have problems.

No this is not a homework question. It is for work but thanks for the information.

You can't do this with standard permissions, you'll need to use ACLs.

Note also that for a dir, x=search, not execute; that's only for files.

As above, it sounds like you'll need ACLs
