How to prevent a shell script from copy or read from Users
I have a script which do validation check and perform code migration from one env. to another, this is built for users/developers.
How can I prevent this shell script from copy or read from users, as they can modify it and run it as per their requirement where as this has to be standard script and no change is permitted. But at the same time we need to give R_X permission to the group level so that user can run the script.

Consider using shc - this compiles a script into a binary executable. It ain't perfect but works okay for most environments.
