Permissions on the folder works different to that of files. Permissions needed are 2770 with 2760 users member of admin group will not be able to enter the folder.

I passed the RHSCA exam last week. This dump was useful but needs update for questions on writing simple shell scripts, container, Stratis and VDO. Thanks. Also, I think Redhat has increased the number of questions from 20 - 24. Mine were 24 questions on the exam. Thanks. https://medium.com/@darekhale91/latest-redhat-ex200-exam-dumps-2023-acd1c1922729

Without granting x permissions, group users will not be able to access the folder so it should be chmod 770 /home/admins

@cloudyhr Why do you have 2770 instead of just 770? And why is g+s necessary?

I figured out the answer to my second question about g+s. The "s" (special permissions) is necessary so that files _created_ by users from the `admin` group are also _owned_ by the `admin` group.

your first question's answer is same. 2 is equivalent of g+s

which is correct permission /home/admin 760 or 770 ?

2770 to be precise. it's because without exec permission, even group users won't be able to enter the dir (i.e. cd requires rx permission).

The right answer is chmod 770 because you need to have execution permission on the directory to have access to its content, so you can perform write and read process.

2770 should be to allow also inheritance for group permissions

For all of the above to work, the user must have the admin group as an additional group. Do the test.

Depends. For directories - r - list files, w - add/del files, x - cd to that directory If yser should be able to enter it this dir should have x
