You can change the permissions of your files by using the command "chmod".

The "chmod" command takes 4 parameters:

- The type of users to apply the change of permissions for (u for user, g for group, o for others, a combination of them or a for all three of them).
- The type of change to make (+ to add permissions, - to remove permissions, = to define permissions)
- The type of permissions to apply the change with (r for read, w for write, x for execute)
- The file or group of files to apply the change on (filename for a precise file, but wildcard characters for multiple files)

-----For instance if user1 decides to give write permissions to the administrators, he will type:

chmod g+w myfile
