HomeOperation and MaintenanceLinux Operation and MaintenanceComprehensive introduction to file permissions and attributes under Linux

In Linux, there is still a lot involved in file permissions. Today I plan to give a systematic and comprehensive introduction.

File permissions and attributes

First let’s take a look at the concepts of owners, groups and other people.

In Linux, every user will belong to a group and is not allowed to be alone outside the group.

  • Owner, when the user creates a new file, the default owner of the file is the group to which the user

  • belongs, when the user creates a new file When a file is entered, the group the file belongs to is the group the user belongs to

  • Others. Users who do not enter the owner and group they belong to are other people

File attributes

Let’s use ls to view the file attributes.

# ls -l 1.php
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 106 Apr 15 10:30 1.php
||||||||||   | |    |    |   |      |
12345678910  11 12  13   14  15       16
##1 represents the file type, - represents document. d represents a directory. b represents a block device. 2234 is divided into a group to indicate owner permissions. The current owner permissions are rw 5567 is divided into one group to indicate the permissions of the group it belongs to. The current permissions of the group it belongs to are r 88, 9, and 10 are divided into one group to indicate other People’s permissions, currently other people’s permissions are r##11##12 means that the owner of this file is root 13 means that the group to which this file belongs is root represents the file size in bytes represents the last modification time of the file
Parameter Meaning
indicates the number of links to this file
## 14

修改文件属性

下面将介绍3个命令

  • chmod 改变文件或目录的权限

  • chown 改变文件所有者

  • chgrp 改变文件所属组

首先新建目录和文件

# mkdir study_file 
# echo '学习使用chmod、chown及chgrp' >  study_file/1.txt # 创建文件

改变文件所有者

# chown www study_file/1.txt #改变文件所有者
# ll study_file/1.txt 
-rw-r--r-- 1 www root 34 5月   5 12:22 study_file/1.txt

同时改变所属组和所有者

# chown www:www study_file/1.txt #同时改变文件所有者及所属组
# ll study_file/1.txt 
-rw-r--r-- 1 www www 34 5月   5 12:22 study_file/1.txt

递归修改所有者及所属组

# touch study_file/2.txt
# touch study_file/3.txt
# chown -R www:www study_file/  #递归修改
# ll study_file/
总用量 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 www www 34 5月   5 12:22 1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 www www  0 5月   5 13:13 2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 www www  0 5月   5 13:13 3.txt

使用chgrp改变所属组

# ls -d study_file/ -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 www www 4096 5月   5 13:13 study_file/
 
# chgrp root study_file/
# ls -d study_file/ -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 www root 4096 5月   5 13:13 study_file/

使用chmod改变文件权限,修改权限的方法可以是数字方式,也可以是字母方式。一般我们习惯使用数字方式来设置权限。

# chown -R root:root study_file/
# chmod 700 study_file/ #数字方法设置权限
# ll -d study_file/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 5月   5 13:13 study_file/
# chmod u=rwx,g=r,o=r 1.txt
# chmod a-x 1.txt
# chmod 600 *.txt
# ll
总用量 4
-rw------- 1 root root 34 5月   5 12:22 1.txt
-rw------- 1 root root  0 5月   5 13:13 2.txt
-rw------- 1 root root  0 5月   5 13:13 3.txt

目录与文件权限的意义

对于目录和文件,rwx是有不同的含义的。下面我做了一个表格,介绍了对于不同类型的权限对于的含义。

文件类型 权限 意义
file r cat、less、more等
file w vim等    
file x 执行权限 



dir   r ls  
dir  w  touch、rm、cp、mv等   
dir  x  cd    

  

文件默认权限

当我们创建了一个新文件后,一般新文件的权限是rw-r--r--,如果新创建一个目录后,目录的权限为rwx-r-xr-x。这就是文件的默认权限,查看默认权限的方法是使用umask.

# umask -S
u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx

默认权限减去x即为文件的默认权限。

修改默认权限的方法也非常简答,还是使用umask命令

umask 0770

The 5 Core Components of the Linux Operating SystemThe 5 Core Components of the Linux Operating SystemMay 08, 2025 am 12:08 AM

The five core components of the Linux operating system are: 1. Kernel, 2. System libraries, 3. System tools, 4. System services, 5. File system. These components work together to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the system, and together form a powerful and flexible operating system.

The 5 Essential Elements of Linux: ExplainedThe 5 Essential Elements of Linux: ExplainedMay 07, 2025 am 12:14 AM

The five core elements of Linux are: 1. Kernel, 2. Command line interface, 3. File system, 4. Package management, 5. Community and open source. Together, these elements define the nature and functionality of Linux.

Linux Operations: Security and User ManagementLinux Operations: Security and User ManagementMay 06, 2025 am 12:04 AM

Linux user management and security can be achieved through the following steps: 1. Create users and groups, using commands such as sudouseradd-m-gdevelopers-s/bin/bashjohn. 2. Bulkly create users and set password policies, using the for loop and chpasswd commands. 3. Check and fix common errors, home directory and shell settings. 4. Implement best practices such as strong cryptographic policies, regular audits and the principle of minimum authority. 5. Optimize performance, use sudo and adjust PAM module configuration. Through these methods, users can be effectively managed and system security can be improved.

Linux Operations: File System, Processes, and MoreLinux Operations: File System, Processes, and MoreMay 05, 2025 am 12:16 AM

The core operations of Linux file system and process management include file system management and process control. 1) File system operations include creating, deleting, copying and moving files or directories, using commands such as mkdir, rmdir, cp and mv. 2) Process management involves starting, monitoring and killing processes, using commands such as ./my_script.sh&, top and kill.

Linux Operations: Shell Scripting and AutomationLinux Operations: Shell Scripting and AutomationMay 04, 2025 am 12:15 AM

Shell scripts are powerful tools for automated execution of commands in Linux systems. 1) The shell script executes commands line by line through the interpreter to process variable substitution and conditional judgment. 2) The basic usage includes backup operations, such as using the tar command to back up the directory. 3) Advanced usage involves the use of functions and case statements to manage services. 4) Debugging skills include using set-x to enable debugging mode and set-e to exit when the command fails. 5) Performance optimization is recommended to avoid subshells, use arrays and optimization loops.

Linux Operations: Understanding the Core FunctionalityLinux Operations: Understanding the Core FunctionalityMay 03, 2025 am 12:09 AM

Linux is a Unix-based multi-user, multi-tasking operating system that emphasizes simplicity, modularity and openness. Its core functions include: file system: organized in a tree structure, supports multiple file systems such as ext4, XFS, Btrfs, and use df-T to view file system types. Process management: View the process through the ps command, manage the process using PID, involving priority settings and signal processing. Network configuration: Flexible setting of IP addresses and managing network services, and use sudoipaddradd to configure IP. These features are applied in real-life operations through basic commands and advanced script automation, improving efficiency and reducing errors.

Linux: Entering and Exiting Maintenance ModeLinux: Entering and Exiting Maintenance ModeMay 02, 2025 am 12:01 AM

The methods to enter Linux maintenance mode include: 1. Edit the GRUB configuration file, add "single" or "1" parameters and update the GRUB configuration; 2. Edit the startup parameters in the GRUB menu, add "single" or "1". Exit maintenance mode only requires restarting the system. With these steps, you can quickly enter maintenance mode when needed and exit safely, ensuring system stability and security.

Understanding Linux: The Core Components DefinedUnderstanding Linux: The Core Components DefinedMay 01, 2025 am 12:19 AM

The core components of Linux include kernel, shell, file system, process management and memory management. 1) Kernel management system resources, 2) shell provides user interaction interface, 3) file system supports multiple formats, 4) Process management is implemented through system calls such as fork, and 5) memory management uses virtual memory technology.
