Step 1: I used the command, sudo groupadd -g GID GroupName, to create three groups, employee, payroll, and admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Sophia account-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Olivia account-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emma account- <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: I used the command, sudo mkdir \/home\/cyse_project, to create the directory, and sudo chgrp jkaur005 \/home\/cyse_project, to change the directory\u2019s group owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: I used the command, sudo chmod 770 \/home\/cyse_project, to change the directory\u2019s permissions, and ls -ld \/home\/cyse_project, to check its new permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: I used the command, umask 027, in Sophia\u2019s account to change the permissions of new files or directories, then I used ls -l testfile, to check the permissions of the new file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: I went into Vi editor to add my name to the Sophia_homework file, and used cat Sophia_homework to check the file\u2019s contents, and ls -l Sophia_homework to check permissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: I used the command, cp Sophia_homework \/home\/cyse_project, to copy the file into the project directory. I should have used the command, ls -l \/home\/cyse_project, to check the file\u2019s permissions in the project directory, instead I accidently checked the file\u2019s permissions in the Sophia account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 9: I used the command, cat Sophia_homework, in the Emma account to read the file, but I received a permission denied error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 10: I used the command, exit, to leave Emma\u2019s account, and once again to leave Sophia\u2019s account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1B: I used the command, sudo chmod g+s \/home\/cyse_project, to set the correct SGID group values to the directory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2B-3B: I used the command, cp Sophia_homework \/home\/cyse_project\/Sophia_homework2, to copy the file into a new file in the project directory. Then I entered Emma\u2019s account, and used cat Sophia_homework2 to view the new file\u2019s contents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 1C: I used the command, sudo chmod g-s \/home\/cyse_project, to remove the SGID permission from the directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2C-3C: I used the command, cp Sophia_homework \/home\/cyse_project\/Sophia_homework3, to copy the file\u2019s contents into a new file in the directory. Then I switched to Olivia\u2019s account and used cat Sophia_homework3 to view the contents of the file, but permission was denied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
