Unix file and directories level Permissions
There are main three types of permision in Linux/UNIX ( excluding SElinux).
Chmod - is used to assign permission to the Users, groups and others on a file or directory.
ACL - Is used to assign extra level of security or access to the user.
Special Permissions
Sticky Bit
Special group Permission
iii.) SGID (special Group ID)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you run,
# ls -l
-/---/---/---
U G O
U- Owner Permission
G- Group Permission
O- Other users

Maximum Permission of file and directory
Directory - 777 (r=4,w=2,x=1)
File - 666 (r=4,w=2,x=0)
===================================================================
Default Permission of file and directory [with ROOT]
Directory - 755
File - 644

UMASK - Umask is a default value that define permission if directories and files
To view :
# umask
With Root Value = 0022
With local user = 0002
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* How to calculate default permission in case of Root
1. Directory :
Max Permission = 777
Umask Value = 0022
_______________________
= 755 Default permission of Directory
2. File :
Max Permission = 666
Umask Value = 0022
_______________________
= 644 Default permission of File

CHMOD [Change Mode]
1. Symbolic Method
u- owner
g- group
o- Other
r- read
w- write
x- execute
'+'- add
'-'- remove
Example :
# Chmod ugo+rwx dir // This will assign read,write and execute permissions to owner, group and other users
# chmod go+rw dir // This will assign read,write permissions to owner, group users
# chmod o+r dir // This will assign read permission to other users
# chmod u+rwx,g+rw,o+r dir
To remove :
# chmod ugo -rwx dir
# chmod go-rw dir
# chmod o-r dir
# chmod u-rwx,g-rw,o-r dir
2. Numeric Method
# chmod 744 dir // Owner = 7 (r=4,w=2,x=1); group = 4 (r=4); other = 4 (r=4)
# chmod 511 dir
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACL [Access Control List]
# mkdir /tmp/test
# groupadd sales // Add users raj,sumit,hemant and ram
# chgrp sales /tmp/test
OR
# chown :sales /tmp/test
# chmod 777 /tmp/test
Condition 1 : Give read access to sumit user only to /tmp/test
# setfacl -m i:sumit:r-- /tmp/test
To check,
# getfacl /tmp/test
Condition 2 : Give read,write access to all sales group users to /tmp/test
# setfacl -m g:sales:rw- /tmp/test
To check,
# getfacl /tmp/test
Condition 4 : Remove all premission for all sales group users to /tmp/test
# setfacl -m g:sales:--- /tmp/test
To check,
# getfacl /tmp/test
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Permissions
1. Sticky Bit
# chmod 1777 /tmp/test // Full permission assigned to owner,group and other users
However, other users still cannot delete the file to which they have full access
2. Group Permissions
Condition : If you create any file within test, the group should be sales by default [Sumit is already in sales group]
# chmod 2777 /tmp/test
OR
# chmod g+s /tmp/test
3. SGID
# chmod 4777 /tmp/test
