How to Change Folder Permissions in Linux [2 Methods] | LinuxSimply

In Linux, you can change folder permissions either from the CLI(Command Line Interface) or from the GUI(Graphical User Interface). In tutorial article, I demonstrated both of the approaches of changing folder permission Linux. You can change your own folder’s permissions by simply running the "chmod command". You may use either the "symbolic mode" or the "absolute mode" of permissions to achieve this task. When you are a root user or you possess sudo privileges similar to the root user, you will be able to change the permissions of folders owned by other users as well. In this case, using the "sudo" keyword you can run the "chmod command" on these file paths even if the group and other permissions are omitted. However, while changing a folder’s permissions from GUI( Graphical User Interface), you can access user's own files only and you will not be able to apply every combination of the read, write and execute access as permission.
