Write privilege for user
Is it possible to grant write privileges to a user on a directory with out having to add the user to a group or make the user the owner of the directory?
My background is in Windows and in Windows you can grant specific privileges to a user without having to put the user in a group or making the user the owner of the object.
I'm completely new to UNIX, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
