How to see the permission of a user

[rohan shah]

Hi,

Just try ls-l and file name it will show all permission for file or directory. the permission divide into three part.

1. Owner permission.
2. Group permission.
3. Other permission.

Also you can try getfacl command.

getfacl it will also work like ls-l.

The etc/passwd file contains user information such as:

1. Username.
2. Password (encrypted) (or an x if shadow passwords are being used.
3. User ID (UID) to determine access privileges.
4. Group ID (GID) to determine access privileges.
5. Home directory, such as /home/juan/.
6. Shell, the command interpreter (shell) for e.g. /bin/bash or /bin/sh

There are many web site with more detailed information, and you should be able to find the one that you need by searching in google.

_Files_ have permissions. I don't know what
"permission of a user" means.

Is there some problem which you are trying to
solve?
