Wait I misread the question. What exactly are you asking? What do you mean by -`but not other users are able to change the permission or change the content.` – Ilaya Raja S Oct 22 '20 at 18:46
i need to add recursively add permissions to all groups and users – Tayyab Vohra Oct 22 '20 at 18:46
But 777 does exactly that. All groups and users get full access to it. – Ilaya Raja S Oct 22 '20 at 18:47
