You can right click on a file or a directory and choose properties permissions tab. There, you can see the permissions allowed to the owner, user group, and others for the file directory. You can check or uncheck the read, write and execute options, and hence change the permissions. As with other things in Linux, it helps to be familiar with the command line way of executing it too.
In the command mode, just type in “ls-l” and you can see the permissions along with other details of the file. In the listing that follows, you will see a set of seeimingly random letters that precede the file owner. From the first 10 characters that appear at the start of the line, it is possible to see the ownership and permissions of the file.
The first character indicates if it is a directory or file: ”d” means director, and “-“ means file. The nest three letters denote the permission that the owner has. An “r” in the second character means read permission. An “w” in the third character means write permission. An “-“ means the corresponding permission does not exist.
