About chmod permissions:
  1. In Unix-like operating systems, the chmod (change mode) command is used to change the access permissions of files or directories.
  2. Permissions are divided into three user types, each with three types of permissions:
    (1). User: The owner of the file.
    (2). Group: The user group to which the file owner belongs.
    (3). Others: Users who are neither the file owner nor in the file owner's group.
  3. Each type of permission is as follows:
    (1). Read: Used to read file contents.
    (2). Write: Used to modify or allow modification of file contents.
    (3). Execute: For files, means the file is executable; for directories, means the directory can be traversed (i.e., entered).
  4. Permissions can be represented in octal or symbolic form:
    (1). Octal notation uses three octal digits, each representing a group of user permissions.
    (2). Symbolic notation uses character symbols to represent permissions.

Review owner, group and other permissions carefully; broad write or execute permissions can create security risk.
