Explain the 3 kinds of file permissions under linux?

Answer Posted / Hitesh Kuamar

Linux uses a three-part permission system for files: read (r), write (w), and execute (x). These permissions can be applied to three types of users: owner, group, and others. The format is as follows: `drwxrwxrwx`:
1. 'd' indicates a directory.
2. The first set of three characters (e.g., 'drw') represents the owner's permissions: read (r), write (w), and execute (x).
3. The second set of three characters (e.g., 'rwx') represents the group's permissions.
4. The third set of three characters (e.g., 'rwx') represents the permissions for other users.
