Granting folder access
Hello, I need to allow a user the ability to create files in a directory that is owned by another user/group. How can I do this? Thank you.

AIX version: 5.3.0.0

Is chmod the way to do it?

Do you want everyone write permissions to the folder or just a selected user? What about read and execute?

In the parent directory you can issue a chmod a+w <directory_name>

This will give ALL access to write to that folder though.

Preferably just one selected user.

Do you have to use a group to allow individual users access to a folder owned by the group? If so, can a user belong to more than 1 group?
