Two groups have permission on a Directory.
 
Hello.
How can I set permission for my directory with two different groups? For example I have two groups with the name G1 and G2 and groups can have access to a directory with the name test.

Cheers.

Conventional Linux permissions only allow one owner and one group, so the simplest way is to create a new group G1G2 with all the users from G1 and G2.

You can use subgroups.

So a group X can refer to the groups A, B, and C.

You should also check into the ACL utilities and procedures using setfacl and such.

Could you explain how this is done?
