9 Simplified version of Unix permissions

10 Simplified version of Unix permissions Windows uses similar concepts

11 Simplified version of Unix permissions Windows uses similar concepts but there is no exact translation between the two

12 user

13 user Has unique user name and user ID

14 user Has unique user name and user ID User name is text: "imhotep", "larry", "vlad",

15 user Has unique user name and user ID User name is text: "imhotep", "larry", "vlad", User ID is numeric (easier for computer to store)

16 user group

17 user group Has unique group name and group ID

18 user group Has unique group name and group ID User can belongs to zero or more groups

19 user group Has unique group name and group ID User can belongs to zero or more groups List is usually stored in /etc/group

20 user group all

21 user group all Everyone else

22 user group all Has user and group IDs

23 read user group all

24 read user group all write

25 read user group all write execute

26 user group all read write execute

27 File's owner can read and write it user group all read write execute

28 File's owner can read and write it Others in group can read user group all read write execute

29 File's can read and write it Others in group can read That's all user group all read write execute
