Technical Support group comprises of the people of staff working on technical issues.
each group have their own ID's and their own passwords.
each group have their own ownership in their specific group. it does not mean they have all permissions. permissions should be granted by the owner of the file or by network administrator who controls all these groups.
in accounts group the file have read permission only no write permission and execitable permissions for peole of the same group,Customer support and technical support do not need information about the accounts so these groups donot have any permissions to these files,
The sales group have read permissions since they have to know the data of the income of the sales of the products so that the sales target can be changed.
Sales group have read permission in their group these files can be exchanged with the accounts group so they have read permission for these files.
customer support group have read, write,executable permissions for their files as these files will have to be forwarded to the other group based on the query.
technical group have read, write and executable permissions inside their group outside the group the will not give any permissions.
the person in one group can change to another group by using the newgrp command. Accounts are restricted to sales and sales are restricted to accounts.
customer support files are open to all groups. Technical support are restritected to their group only.
chmod to change permissions of the file and directories.
