Linux - Change Permissions and Ownership for Files and Folders (chmod, chown, members, groups )

[@michaeldasch9820]

Man, was stuck on this problem for about 3-4 hours..... found this video and was able to figure it out. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. May god bless you

[@vedantshinde2277]

Oh my god, Thank you so much!! I blindly used chmod to "remove the lock icon" without knowing the bts. Finally restored permissions for the user and this video just saved the day for me.

[@andonigamezsuarez3210]

Thank you very much. This is the best tutorial I have ever seen about linux permissions and ownerships. Congratulations to you, cause the video goes directly to the point. With channels like this, this world gets better. You get a new sub, and a thumbs up cause this video. A BRIVE SUMMARY FOR YOU GUYS: Changing Permissions and Ownerships for Files and folders: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Showing the groups and members: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Showing the groups of the current user: groups Showing the groups of other users: groups username Showing members of a group, You'll have to previously install it: sudo apt install members -y members groupname Showing all the existence os groups: cat /etc/group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changing ownerships ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changing owner and group owner: sudo chown user:group filename Changing just the owner: sudo chown username filename Changing just the group owner: sudo chown :group filename Changing folder permisions, be careful, you have to bear in main the files that contains. Changing permisons recursively: sudo chown -R user:gorup filename ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changing permissions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have to add to give various permissions: 0 = Denied 1 = Excute 2 = Write 4 = Read Example: sudo chmod user|group|others filename --> sudo chmod 740 filename In case of changing folder permisions, we can do it recursively: sudo chmod -R 740 foldername

[@vineeshbc9448]

Thanks a lot... this ved saved my half day 👌🥳🙏

[@shantiswarupmahapatra5000]

Hey man! You are really awesome in your explanations

[@justinm7912]

how do u give different permissions to different types of groups, so instead of working with the group that owns the file, you are changing the permissions of multiple groups that use the file

[@ryansgale22]

I made an external hard drive in Linux Mint auto mount in the path /media/data how do I change the permissions? When I right click the hard drive and go to the permissions tab I get the message ( The permissions of "data" could not be determined. )

[@dontatme1499]

I love this man no homo

[@victoriadathan2675]

Why is the execute permission separated by a dash in the second portion of the permissions, that is r-x?? I don't get it.

[@victoriadathan2675]

@Heber gonzalez lol

[@jessicajurado9414]

Really handy. Thank you!

How to change permissions in batch config. Wanted to install Bacula app but error no permissions for batch config. ???

[@1minutelinux390]

Thank you , great explanation.

[@Bigmoosemanswiggan]

what if you're trying to change the owner of a hard drive? I used the KDE partition editor to wipe a hard drive and made a new partition/partition table. Everything works just fine but I can't write anything in the drive, only read

[@kadadajuma6029]

hi this is what i really needed thank you alot

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

I don't know why _ls_ doesn't have an option to view the permissions numerically (eg 755) instead of only as bitfields. :-|

[@GodBreathed77]

- getfacl is a good alternative if you want to see more info. I got in the habit of visualizing the numbers by picturing me doing the action with a finger. Read = 4 (picture myself reading a book with 4 fingers) Write = 2 (I picture myself writing with a pencil with two fingers) Execute = 1 (I'm pointing with one finger to tell someone to do something) Not sure if that helps, but has worked well for me

[@dropshotking1212]

Agreed!! That would be very helpful for changing back to defaults...

[@jakeames6840]

Eli, My USB stick just has read permissions, how do I do w and x? Do I have to do the same on all USB ports? I have Linux Ubuntu. Thanks. I have autocad drawings that the printer cannot open up.

[@senthamizhanrajendran1739]

I'd mounted a removable usb drive in a folder through fstab. But, I'm not able to change the ownership of the mounted folder. When I tried chown it says "operation not permitted" . can you help me to solve this? I'm using Ubuntu mate running on raspberry Pi 3b

[@nomadoflight]

Hi Eli, could you please also create a video on "special permissions like setuid, setgid and sticky bit" ? I appreciate your work! Thank you!

[@dropshotking1212]

so putting 000 should lock the folder and files if done : chmod -R 000 Documents/ \\\ but it shows a pad lock on the folder and files but i can still click on all of them...????

[@leondennis4659]

I wish you could increase the font size or zoom in so I can see better.

[@markusscott6696]

with command $groups I can see only few groups, but with command $cat /etc/groups a whole bunch of groups. Shouldn't that be the same?

[@queenbyhim3574]

I have files on my employer shared drive, I work from home online and I'm convinced someone is going in and altering files. It's a windows system. How can I stop them from modifying, copying, replacing, and removing files in my folers

[@queenbyhim3574]

Also how can I stop them from changing permissions I have set

[@cherten1]

Love this video. I need the video you did prior to this. This video builds on it. Videos aren't number and don't know the name. Can anyone help. Don't know what you dofull time but if it is not teaching you missed your calling. Video precise, volume good (no freaky music) just make it a little big in size. You have a new subscriber

[@jovan_script]

Thanks, man!

[@juanjoseaguero6539]

Great video !! Please could you explain about File System, processes, services, kernel, run level, etc....it would be very interesting!

[@ithelpers4625]

[@KenSherman]

chmod 🆚chown...

[@Baucan]

No, Linux sucks, you can not easily copy files around, need permission bla bla bla.. since 8 hours I'm trying to copy ONE file to the File sytem and can not... :-( I'm thinking seriously at this point to go back Windows....
