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!

I will keep this video bookmarked as a "lookup"-vid. Great to have all this in one place.

Shawn! Thank you! haven't watched yet but I'm studying for my linux+ rn. This will be a godsend to everyone!! thank you!!

[@Nullphoric]

Shawn! Just got caught up, thank you!

[@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

[@yanib47]

@14.16 Imagine your friend has a car that only they can drive because they own it (analogous to file ownership and permissions). However, your friend decides to set a special feature on their car (SUID) that allows you (and only you) to drive it as if you were the owner when you need to.

[@7onysWorld]

Let's goooo Linux+. Thank you Shawn, this is amazing.

[@shawnp0wers]

Thank YOU, I truly appreciate it!

spowers = super powers

[@shawnp0wers]

*blush* -- really though, thank you, that's incredibly kind. :)

[@AmolGautam]

Thanks for this.

[@inteliconn995]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@therealer_]

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)
