All files on Linux servers have access permissions. The purpose of these permissions is to provide the operating system with information on how to manage access to these files.
There are 3 types of access:
- Read - the file marked with read access can be read (displayed) by the user
- Write - the file marked with write access can be modified by the user
- Execute - the file marked with access for execution (running) can be executed by the user
Permissions are used for 3 classes of users:
- User - the owner of the file
- Group - users in the associated group
- World - the rest
ATTENTION: Careless changing of the permissions can create problems for the functioning of your site. If you are not sure about the changes you want to make, open a ticket within HELPDESK.
