How to change permissions just for [others] group
I have multiple subdirectories but I want to use '''chmod''' command but I want it to apply only for the [others] section. For example :
Europe : drwx-r--r--
Australia : drw-rx-r--
And I want to change only the Others section, and the other 2 to leave unchanged.
So it will end up :
Europe : drwx-r--rw-
Australia : drw-rx-rw-
Solution 1:
As well as chmod
, you can also use setfacl
to change permissions and add additional groups.
getfacl
will show all permissions currently set to a file or directory
To change the permissions, you can use
setfacl -m o::rw- $path
This will modify the permission of others to include rw
