How to Check File Permissions in Linux

The following steps will help you check file permissions in Linux

Step 1: First, you will check your file’s permissions using the ls -l command.

Step 2: Then, you will see output in the terminal like this:

Permissions: -rwxr-xr---
[ User ]   [ Group ]   [ Others ]
  rwx        r-x        r--

Step 3: Now, you can analyze the output:

• User: These permissions (read, write, and execute) apply to the file’s owner.
• Group: These permissions (read and execute) apply to the file’s group members.
• Others: These permissions (read) apply to all other users.
