I was trying to create two directories assignment and exam_papers containing assignment and question paper text files inside them respectively. After that, I created two users vipin , booma.Then added vipin to teacher group and booma to student group respectively.

Look at this screenshot for specification

Idea

The idea is I wanted to set permissions for assignment and exam_papers directory like only members of the teacher group can read write to the assignment and exam_paper directory and members of student and other users can only read the content of assignment directory

enter image description here

Here You can see that I removed all permissions from other users for exam_paper directory and gives only Read permission to other users for assignment directory.

Motive of this is, members of student group and other users can't access the exam_paper directory and can access assignment directory with only Read permission

Result

The result of all this is that even members of teacher group can't access both of these directories

  • I think this question suits better to other StackExchange networks, like https://superuser.com/. You may get better and faster answers there, as this is kind of OS-based question. – Alexander Santos Aug 03 '21 at 14:39

Directories require executable access to enter/see contents. So if you wanted a group to have access privileges to a directory chmod -R 775 assignment/ should work.
