Permissions

[Harsha HR]

HI all,

I have doubt will explain a scenario..
there are 4 groups g1 g2 g3 g4 with 4 user's u1 u2 u3 u4 in that u1 is a member of group g1, u2 is a member of g2,u3 member of g3 & u4 member of g4. If i want to give permissions for a file to these 4 users is thr any way with out creating a new group for 4 user's ????

Without giving global permissions, you would have to create a new group and place all the users in that group.

Hi Harsha,

No.

user "cmmod" command.
The chmod command changes the permissions of one or more files according to the value of symbolic_mode_list or numeric_mode. You can
display the current permissions for a file with the ls -l command (see ls(1)).

# man chmod

Other options:

I would assume you could do that with ACLs?

You may want to add a umask xxx to their .profile.
