The read permission grants the ability to read a file. When set for a directory, this permission grants the ability to read the names of files in the directory, but not to find out any further information about them such as contents, file type, size, ownership, permissions. The write permission grants the ability to modify a file. When set for ...

These entries are known as access-control entries (ACEs) in the Microsoft Windows NT, [4] OpenVMS, and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, macOS, and Solaris. Each accessible object contains an identifier to its ACL. The privileges or permissions determine specific access rights, such as whether a user can read from, write to, or execute ...
In Unix and Unix-like systems, including POSIX-conforming systems, each file has a 'mode' containing 9 bit flags controlling read, write and execute permission for each of the file's owner, group and all other users (see File-system permissions §Traditional Unix permissions for more details) plus the setuid and setgid bit flags and a 'sticky' bit flag.

(Files are by default listed in columns and sorted vertically.) dircolors: Set up color for ls: install: Copies files and set attributes ln: Creates a link to a ...
The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on most UNIX and Linux systems. [ 5 ] [ citation needed ] However FreeBSD can be configured to interpret setuid in a manner similar to setgid , in which case it forces all files and sub-directories created in a directory to be owned by that directory's owner - a simple form of inheritance.

For instance, if a file object has an access control expression that contains (read=(g:system OR u:Alice), write=(g:system AND !u:Bob))), this would give any member of the system group or the user named Alice permission to read the file but would allow only members of the system group to write the file, except for the user named Bob.
