You must understand permissions if you are managing an LMS (as some of my students will do when they graduate). Thus I am posting this from last night’s class:<\/p>\n

\u009bThree types of users: User \u2013 Group \u2013 World<\/p>\n

These permissions can be given for one group, multiple groups, one user, etc.<\/p>\n

Three types of permissions: \u009bRead (R or 4), Write ( W or 2), Execute (X or 1)<\/p>\n

Sometimes written as – RWX or a number equivalent such as 777. Each word corresponds to a number depicted below that can add up to 7 (4+2+1).<\/p>\n

\u009bR-\u00a0Read (4) – read files<\/p>\n

\u009bW-\u00a0Write (2) – write\/modify files<\/p>\n

X – \u009bexecute (1) -Read\/write\/delete\/modify\/directory<\/p>\n

\u009bExample \u2013<\/p>\n

\u009b-r–rwx—- = User can read, group can do everything, world cannot access<\/p>\n

\u009b777 =\u00a0Everyone can do everything<\/p>\n

\u009b422 =User can read, group can write, world can write<\/p>\n

\u009bRwx-rwx-rwx = Everyone can do everything<\/p>\n

\u009b-wx-r—– = User can write and execute, group can read, world cannot access<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
