The directory has read, write, and execute permissions for the owner, and no permissions for any other user. This is a normal file named "try. It is readable and writable by the owner, but is not accessible to any other user. This is a normal file named "a.
It is executable, as well as readable and writable, for the owner only. This is a directory named "share", owned by user elvis and associated with group bigsci. The owner can read and write the directory; all members of the file group bigsci can list the contents of the directory. Presumably, this directory would contain files that also have "group read" permissions.
This is a directory named "public", owned by user elvis and associated with group bigsci. The owner can read and write the directory; all other users can only read the contents of the directory. A directory such as this would most likely contain files that have "world read" permissions. When a file is created, the permission flags are set according to the file mode creation mask, which can be set using the umask command.
The file mode creation mask sometimes referred to as "the umask" is a three-digit octal value whose nine bits correspond to fields of the permission flags. The resulting permissions are calculated via the bitwise AND of the unary complement of the argument using bitwise NOT and the default permissions specified by the shell typically for files and for directories.
Common useful values are:. This is read after. The chmod "change mode" command is used to change the permission flags on existing files. It can be applied recursively using the -R option. It can be invoked with either octal values representing the permission flags, or with symbolic representations of the flags.
Jane has permission to run view , but not permission to read memo. So when this view program attempts to read the file a permission denied error will occur.
When view attempts to read the file, the system doesn't think Jane is attempting to read, it thinks root is the user. So the access is allowed. A similar substitution occurs if the SGID bit is set and any execute bits are set. The group ID checked is not the current user, but the group of the program.
These are the user and group of the person who started the process by running some program. By default these are the same. They are not usually needed. The standard is clear that executing a shell script is treated as an execution of sh script , which means the process started uses the permissions of sh or other interpreter for other types of scripts such as Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.
That said, many systems in the past have honored these modes for scripts. The security of scripts is low compared to compiled programs and even if your system allows a script to run as SUID you shouldn't do so. Note that today, many executables use dynamic link libraries. DLL s have the extension. Such a program controls which libraries to link to at runtime.
If the SUID bit is set on a file with no execute bits set i. This means that if one process has that file open, any other attempts to open it will block. In Linux and System V systems, when SGID is set on a file that does not have group execute privileges, this indicates a file that is subject to mandatory locking during access if the filesystem is mounted to support mandatory locking with mount -o mand. This overload of meaning surprises many and is not universal across Unix-like systems.
In fact, the Open Group's Single Unix Specification for chmod 3 permits systems to ignore requests to turn on SGID for files that aren't executable if such a setting has no meaning. The sticky bit was used to keep programs executable files in memory, so that the next time any user runs that program it would start faster.
This is obsolete on modern systems which use virtual memory , and no longer has any effect. On non-executable files, the bit never had any effect. Some versions of Unix called this the save program text bit or the text bit. Old systems that honored this bit on executable files ensured that only the root user could set this bit; otherwise users could have crashed systems by forcing everything into memory. Directories and nearly everything else in Unix are just files.
They contain little information, just the name of a file and its inode number. System calls that read or modify directories work similarly as for ordinary files. However the permission bits on directories control access to additional system calls such as chdir then just the few used for regular files such as read , write , and exec.
To read the names of files in a directory using read , or using opendir or readdir system calls, requires read permission. Note the ls command needs this permission to access the names of files in a directory. Directories also contain inode numbers for each file, but read permission does not grant access to these. To modify the contents of a directory requires write permission. If you have write permission on some directory, you can add files to it, rename and delete files from it.
Deleting, linking, and renaming files require execute permission too, as discussed below. This is because such operations also require access to a file's inode in addition to the file's name. While read permission will allow access to the name of a file in a directory, execute permission is needed to access the inodes of files in that directory.
Note you don't have to be the owner of a file or have write permission on it to rename or delete it! You only need write permission on the directory that contains the file. The chdir system call is one of many that requires execute permission on a directory.
Of course a directory isn't really a program that you can run even if it has execute permission. The execute bit is reused rather than waste space with additional permission bits. Besides controlling a user's ability to cd into some directory, the execute permission is required on a directory to use the stat system call on files within that directory. The stat system called is used to access the information in a file's inode , and must be done before you can open or delete via the unlink system call that file.
See Note. Because of its role in file access the execute bit on a directory is sometimes called search permission.
This requires search x permission on the directory foo. Note you don't need read permission on the directory in this case! You only need read permission on a directory to list its contents. The use of the execute permission on a directory has some non-obvious effects on file access. Note that if execute permission is required for a directory, it is usually required for each directory component on the full pathname of that directory.
Without execute permission on a directory, a user can't access files in a directory even if they own them and have all permissions on them. With read but not execute, you can do ls someDir but not ls -l someDir.
Thinking of the system calls involved read and stat may help clarify this. Also, make sure ls isn't aliased to something such as ls --color or ls -F , since these options change the listing to identify directories, links, and executables by using stat , which requires execute permission. Remember that to use ls -l file , or on some systems ls -i dir i. With execute but not read permission on a directory, users cannot list the contents of the directory but can access files within it if they know about them.
A common situation illustrating all this is user web sites. To delete a file requires both write to modify the directory itself and execute to stat the file's inode on a directory. Note a user needs no permissions on a file nor be the file's owner to delete it! To put or create a file in a directory required both w and x permissions. Write permission is needed because you are modifying the directory with a new hard link, and execute permission is needed in order to use stat , open , and creat system calls.
Creating a file involves trying to open the file first to see if it already exists and stat if it does, and using either ln to create a new hard link or creat to create a new file. This means that setting the SGID bit on a directory causes any new files or directories created within to inherit the group identity of that directory rather than that of the user. Also, new sub-directories will inherit the SGID bit as well.
The purpose of this approach is to support project directories : users can save files into such SGID directories and the group identity of the file automatically changes.
This is useful for example on the Document Root of a website or other directories containing a set of files worked on by a specific group of users. However, setting the setgid bit on directories is not specified by standards such as the Single Unix Specification [ Open Group ]. The sticky bit is used on directories that are writable by group or others. As noted earlier, a user doesn't have to be the owner of a file to delete it, nor have been granted any permissions on that file.
A user needs only write and execute permission on the directory to delete any file contained within it. However if the sticky bit is also set on the directory, only the owner of a file or the owner of the directory and the super-user of course will be able to delete that file. Not all versions of Unix support this use of the sticky bit, unfortunately.
In Linux 3. These changes should prevent a common trick used by attackers to escalate their privileges, a problem noted in the mids but never addressed. Reference: git. You can think of it this way: Normally a file is associated with a single user the user owner and a single group the group owner. With ACL s a file can be associated with multiple users and groups, not just the owner user and group. Each of these groups and users can be granted any of the normal permissions read, write, or execute.
Note that only the real file owner can change permissions, just as before. Some ACL implementations do support inheritance of permissions. Every file and directory under UNIX or Linux has a set of permissions associated with it that is shown as a three digit number such as These permissions are categorized into three groups who have or do not have the permissions:. The three by three array above shows the basis for describing the set of nine permissions. Note that each permission has a numeric value associated with it:.
If a permission is denied, then its value is always zero. In the example above, all permissions have been granted. For each category of user owner, group member, or other these three permission values potentially add up to seven. If we deny one or more type of permission, then that value 4, 2, or 1 is subtracted from the value for that category of user. These changes are shown in the array below:.
The total value is now rather than Note that whatever combination of permissions we create, the numbers will always be a unique representation of that combination, as shown in the following chart:. Just as each column designates a specific combination of permissions, so the total value represents a specific combination of permissions associated with user types since the order is always given as: owner group other. Thus, from any three digit total value, you can deduce each of the nine possible permissions.
Remember that this total value is always given in the order: owner group others. When you wish to set the mode of a file set the permissions you use the UNIX command chmod at the system prompt.
As you become familiar with the chmod command, try using the -v option for a verbose response as in the following example:.
