Linux Command Line Tutorial For Beginners 19 - Octal and Numerical permissions (chmod)

The chmod numerical format accepts up to four octal digits. The three rightmost digits refer to permissions for the file owner, the group, and other users. The optional leading digit (when 4 digits are given) specifies the special setuid, setgid, and sticky flags.

# Permission rwx
7 read, write and execute rwx
6 read and write rw-
5 read and execute r-x
4 read only r--
3 write and execute -wx
2 write only -w-
1 execute only --x
0 none ---
