→File Permissions
Users that <u>own</u> those ''directories'' and ''regular files'' are referred to as '''users''', users that belong within the <u>same group</u> are referred to as '''same group members''', and those users are do <u>NOT</u> belong to a particular group are referred to as '''other group members'''.
'''NOTE:''' In this course, we cannot create groups or assign users to groups in the '''Matrix''' server.<br>Instead, you will learn how to those tasks when or if you take a Unix/Linux administration account.<br>On the other hand, you can change which '''user''',<br>existing '''same group members''' or existing '''other group members''' can access or cannot NOT access a directory or regular file.<br><br>

File Permissions consist of '''two-layers''':<br><br>''First'', the permissions of a '''directory''' that contains regular files, and ''second'', permissions of the '''regular files''' themselves.
