User permissons for folders and files in Ubuntu

posted on 26.1.2023 by Below Surface in "Ubuntu"

Firstly, by running the command:

$ ls -la

You will get a list of all files and folders in the current directory you are in. If you want to grant rights to a certain user, just run

$ sudo chown -R username:usergroup directoryname

To give rights to all files and folders of the current directory to the user marc123 of the user group "developer", run:

$ sudo chown -R marc123:developer .
