  4. Now create resources and groups to test the server

Set the Students group so that they have full control over the Students folder, and read only and list permissions for the Faculty Folder.

Activities Users and Templates Linux
1. Manually add user Linux

  1. In Linux Server command prompt
    whatis useradd
  2. To create one user using useradd, named Kent C Deforest

chmod 775 foldername
Set the Students folder so that Students (group) have full control and Faculty (others) have Full Control.
chmod 777 foldername
