File Permissions Lab

 

Lab 6: File Permissions

• Learned how to create and manage users and groups, including setting primary and secondary group memberships.
• Understood how Linux file and directory permissions (rwx) control access to resources.
• Practiced using chmod and umask to set and control permissions effectively.
• Learned how SGID allows files in a shared directory to inherit group ownership for better collaboration.
• Gained understanding of the sticky bit and how it prevents users from deleting files they do not own.

I faced challenges when it came to learning which commands to use at which instruction. I was able to learn by restarting when I messed up until I got it right.
