if you want to give all permissions only to this user you would need to set this user as owner for all the files and dirs and set full access to the owner

take a look at the "chown" and "chmod" commands. To change owner and/or permissions for a directory and all contents, use the -R flag.

First open terminal

Code:

chown -R /directory/targeted/ New_User_Name ----> May need to run as root if you are not the current owner.

chmod -750 -R /directory/targeted/   --> Again may  need to run as root,


If you run into problems.

man (short for manual) command (chown : Change Owner or chmod : Change Mode )
