To set different file permissions for different users of same group
Hi,

If User1, User2 and User3 are in the same group. User1 should not be able to view the files of User2 and User3. But User2 and User3 should be able to view all files.

How to set permission for this.

Please help.

Thanks,
Priya.

With plain Unix permissions you will have to make an extra group containing only User2 and User3. Assign the group to the files/directory and that's it. Surely I do not know if it is that easy in your environment due to dependancies etc.
A file/directory can only have the permissions for 1 user, 1 group and all others on the system, which you can easily see issuing a ls -la.
If you want to set up some more complicated permissions, have a look into ACL (Access Control Lists). We usually try to to avoid using them and were successful so far with that.
