  • Chmod Permissions are calculated using the table below.
Access Type User Group Other
Read 4 4 4
Write 2 2 2
Execute 1 1 1
Total 7 7 7


  • For each user (user, group, other), a 1 digit number represents the access rights.
  • You therefore end up with three digits, if all rights are given then these are represented by 777 (7 user, 7 group, 7 other).
  • Each 7 is calculated from (4+2+1). If you wish to remove a right, you remove the relevant number from the sum.
  • Hence, for Read and Execute only, the sum is (4 + 1) so 5.
