Thanks so much for this video, I have learned quite a bit. I have been playing with Linux for a bit, but have lots to learn yet. Have messed a few times with permissions and time to learn about it properly.
Thank you for explaining this topic to me, you are the first to succeed. However, your last example did not work after entering (getfacl --access /youtube/ | setfacl -d -M /yt/) it returned (setfacl: Is a directory in line 0 of file /yt/). No changes took effect. Would you happen to know what caused this?
What if i want to give permission to only one folder and no access to all other folders in the directory??? Revoke permission to other folders and full access to only one folder
@@TechArkit but do we have to unset any settings for other folders??? If We have 10 subfolders and I want the user to give 777 access to only one folder. To All other subfolders he cannot have read permission also...
It is copied but working I set user1 in direc1 Then I copy direc1 to direc2 There user is add in direc2 But user1 can't editing in direc2 What I do ...?
Nicely explained. Can you enlighten the following scenario: Suppose if you delete the directory /youtube and create it again. Will permission remain for the user other than root. Even if we give the user1 permission to root ("/") and its sub-directory, permission are applied to existing directory but if root user is creating any directory under root ("/"), permission are not inherited for other users. Any idea, how we can apply the permissions to new directory as well using setfacl.
If you delete and recreate /youtube directory, will get user and group ownership which user you have login. Example: user2. To inherit the permissions like user or group you need to apply SGUID permissions so that all the subdirectories and files will automatically get group ownership which top directory has.
User is already created I have two things to do . Please help 1. User has read only access to log folder. But I see an issue if a new file is created then he is unable to see 2. Grant him read only access to some new folders Basically two things I have
Are these settings permanent in Linux? When these gets defaulted or removed from acl? Facing some issues on NFS... though we are setting the permission after somedays the settings got removed... Any reason
No way permissions will not go away automatically. If NFS export is mapped to multiple hosts and changes happened from another host it will also change in another host.

@@TechArkit I'm sorry that my question was not clear enough .. my question is this: Centos 7: I have two users user 1 and user 2 , user 1 created a file file1 in /home/user1/Desktop and provided setfacl -m u:user2:rwx file1. When I su user2 he is able to access and modify file1 but if I do su - user2 he is getting permission denied. Why? Your input on this will be highly appreciated
you can directly read the file and write the file because access is provided to only file not the top level directories. like cat /home/user1/file1 or vim /home/user1/file1
@@TechArkitexactly.. so what is the solution for it. If I want to give access to another user on a file present in my home directory. Either I should change permission for my home directory or create a directory and provide permission to all on that particular directory, right?
Hello Bro, Explanation is good. But let me know after mirroring from one directory to another directory. How can I come back or remove to old permissions which i.e defaults permissions of before replicating or copying and same for files also Thanks
When you were transfering permissions from /youtube/ to /yt/ you used -d option with setfacl, it adds "default" in front of u:my_username:rwx. What is it for because after doing this i still cannot access file with my user?
Thank You. Yes there are many openings with Linux skill set. But alone Linux is not good, you have to combine any other technology like Big Data, AWS, Automation tools.
@10:53 /youtube group has read & write execute permissions when you display getfacl /youtube. however when you give command like ls -ld /youtube it shows group has rwx permissions. should not it be r&x permissions ??

Beautifully expalined and clearly understandable. Thank you
You are welcome!
Thanks for your video, helped me a lot for my exam. Greetings from Hessen
Nice to hear good news. Please subscribe and share video to your friends.
It was indeed a brilliant explanation. THank you

Easily explained , thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome ravi.Thanks a lot
Thank you Saurabh.
Can I block a user from downloading or uploading files or directories?
But files and directories can be edited by the user.
Yes you can do that.
Awesome..
Explanation is Fab..
Thank you Umesh. Happy Learning.
What if i want to give permission to only one folder and no access to all other folders in the directory??? Revoke permission to other folders and full access to only one folder
chmod 777 /topdirectory; chmod -R 740 /topdirectory/

It is copied but working
I set user1 in direc1
Then I copy direc1 to direc2
There user is add in direc2
But user1 can't editing in direc2
What I do ...?
Once you create the user home path to user2 ownership will change.
Can this possible with normal users.. means can one normal user share directory to another user without using root access
yes, if sudo is allowed.
is this the same procedure we follow in real time also
Yes

thankyou friend you are very helpful. your explanation is superb. :-)

Sir , what is the meaning of mask and default permissions in getfacl
Mask value is umask value.
Whether these commands works on putty tool?
Needs urgent response..... Please
putty is used to access Linux and Network devices using SSH, Telnet, Console ports Etc..
Are these settings permanent in Linux?
When these gets defaulted or removed from acl?
Facing some issues on NFS... though we are setting the permission after somedays the settings got removed...
Any reason
No way permissions will not go away automatically. If NFS export is mapped to multiple hosts and changes happened from another host it will also change in another host.
hello Ravi,
for file acl's do i must use getfacl before setfacl --set-file=- ? is this manditory?
Not mandatory however you can see the difference before and after.
@@TechArkitravi if i can give acls on a file and if i use the file name to exicute command like below .

In the test file i have added the use

I tried like this but not working? Please do suggest if i am wrong

Providing permission on a file in home directory will also need permission on home directory ? It will be security issue ?
No, superuser or root can change the file/directory permissions without having access to file/directory that's not a security issue.

If you know old permissions what was there apply the same using chmod command.
Perfect😊
Thank you
When you were transfering permissions from /youtube/ to /yt/ you used -d option with setfacl, it adds "default" in front of u:my_username:rwx. What is it for because after doing this i still cannot access file with my user?
Check the ACL after transferring, if your using different options along with -d if makes different.
let me conclude on ACLs
ACL means giving different users/group different permission, on a same file.
Exactly!
Sir ur God sir..
its just a sharing is caring.
Beautiful and clearly explained. Keep it up. Do you have videos on Red Hat Subscription and Red hat satellite server demos?
Not yet uploaded, i will upload them soon.
Good job. RHCE tutorial part is available bro?
Yes, RHCE is also available.

Thank you.
Thankss!!!
Thanks Priya singh.
Awesome!

nice explain bro linux opertunity good now bro if we possible send best interview quastions bro thank u

why you use clear command before you explain .....?
Nothing like that most i have explained.
I cannot understand your language
English is not our native language for that.
Poor explanation
Okay
