Consequence of users permissions as one or more groups member

When any user is assigned to a group then the permissions of the group are incorporated into the permissions of the user. However if the administrator wants to provide additional permissions to a particular user, say the group leader, it is possible. In Linux the permissions are changed by the chmod 777 statement, where 777 means all permissions.

4 read

2 write

1 execute

 

First 7 for user then next 7 for groups then next 7 to others.

7 means all permissions : read + write + execute = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7.

If you need only the read and execute permissions then you give read + execute = 4+1 = 5 instead of 7.

Thus you may change the permissions of the group as well as the user at the same time.
