vbe is correct to ask for ownership and permissions on /opt/test.

Just a little background, any time you create a new file or directory UNIX/Linux sets the ownership to the user id and group id of the user creating the file. The permissions that vbe mentions are if you can read, write, or execute the file. These are set to a default value that is part of your environment.

Here is a few commands that you might be interested in:

chown - changes the ownership of a file for user id.
chgrp - changes the ownership of a file for group id.

chmod - permission of files.

umask - default permissions for newly created files.

Hope these helps, let me know if I have helped.

LFC-CHGRP(1)							 LFC User Commands						      LFC-CHGRP(1)

NAME

       lfc-chgrp - change group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       lfc-chgrp [-h] [-R] group path...

DESCRIPTION

       lfc-chgrp sets the group ownership of a LFC directory/file in the name server to the value of group.

       To  change  the group ID, the effective user ID of the process must match the owner ID of the file and the new group must be in the list of
       groups the caller belong to or the caller must have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.

       group  is either a valid group name or a valid numeric ID.

       path   specifies the LFC pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the LFC_HOME environment variable.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h     If path is a symbolic link, changes the ownership of the link itself.

       -R     Recursive mode.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
