Permission Modes

  7       5    5
 user   group  world
 r+w+x  r+x    r+x
 4+2+1  4+0+1  4+0+1 = 755

The permission mode is computed by adding up the following values for the user, the file group, and for everyone else. The diagram shows how.

  • Read 4 - Allowed to read files
  • Write 2 - Allowed to write/modify files
  • eXecute1 - Read/write/delete/modify/directory
  7       4     4
 user   group  world
 r+w+x    r      r
 4+2+1  4+0+0 4+0+0  = 744
