I want to grant a group **"usera"** rwx permission to a directory. The directory is already owned by a user that belongs to this group **"usera".** The name of the username and group is same.
**Current Permissions:**
If I check the current permissions of that directory by running the following command:
ls -la
Following is the output:
drwxrwsrwx 2 usera usera 4096 Jan 9 09:30 .
Desired Output:
drwxrwxrwx 2 usera usera 4096 Jan 9 09:30 .
**Problem Statement:**
The problem is that the above-mentioned **usera** doesn't have ssh access to the server. So, I have to login via another user with admin privileges. And I want to grant group **"usera"** rwx permissions on a particular directory
/opt/test/abcd
. But I am unable to figure out which command to run. I know we can grant permissions by using chmod
command but how to apply it in this context
