Permissions, ACLs, and Attributes. (Linux+ Objective 2.5.3)

Linux has standard POSIX permissions, but if that's not enough, you can add in ACLs for more fine-tuned user and group specific stuff. PLUS, you can use attributes to really fine tune what can and can't be done.
There are also some non-permission based nuances in the form of SUID, GUID, and the Sticky Bit. Linux is flexible, and at times overwhelming. This video should help clarify some of the more confusing aspects of file management!

Shawn! Just got caught up, thank you!

[@AmolGautam]

Thanks for this.

[@7onysWorld]

Very easy to understand breakdown of the ACLs and the Attributes.

[@shawnp0wers]

Thank you! They can be confusing, and while I could certainly go into more detail, sometimes over-explaining makes a topic dull. At least that's my thought process when deciding how deep to dive. Thanks again!

What I like about you is the cheerfulness, which's not typical to linux experts

[@7onysWorld]

Are you still uploading more video’s for this playlist?

[@shawnp0wers]

That is my plan! I want to get the course finished asap! (KZbin isn’t my full time job, so it’s going slower than I’d like)

[@samplesandtests]

chmod +w,-r is an interesting one

[@shawnp0wers]

Agreed. Sort of a "dropbox file" kind of situation at that point. We used to do something sorta like that for folders. So students could turn in assignments, but not see what was in the folder they moved their files into.
