File owned by oracle user and dba group need readonly access to other users

groosha · #1 (**permalink**) 09-23-2009

Under oracle user file abc.txt was created. Oracle user belong to dba group on UNIX Server. However other non Oracle users which belongs to some other network groups need read only access to this file.

Every time when I login as other then oracle user and try to view this file it saying that I do not have permissions. Could you help me to fix this issue? What command under oracle user I can issue to grant read only to some other groups.

OS: AIX

you can change permissions with 'chmod' but you need to be the owner of the file. So to give non-Oracle non-dba-group user read access you would login as the owner (Oracle) and issue:

Code:

chmod o+r abc.txt

look at the chmod man page for more info.

I did chmod 644 abc.txt and it worked.

Thanks
