Change permissions

How do I change permissions on /data/log so oracle OS user can write/create folders there?

/data/usr/jan> cd /data/log
/data/log> ls -la
total 34
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Nov 20 10:37 .
drwxrwxrwx 10 jan oracle 512 Nov 20 10:17 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Nov 20 10:37 lost+found

Only root can create folders/files here.

Try "chgrp oracle /data/log"

I'm getting permission denied when I try to mkdir or create a file when logged in as user oracle.

Correct, I thought your were logged in as "jan".
You need to add write permission to the (oracle) group: "chmod g+w /data/log".
