Stciky bit is a permission given to directory where in every one can read, write + the owner of file or the super user can delte or modify the file. For example /tmp
SUID is a user id which is taken by any process before execution even though if the script is executed by someone else. SGID is same is SUID the only difference is it will run with the privilege of group instead of individual’s user
