How to Assign Folder and File Permissions in cPanel

Here’s how to change file permissions in cPanel. Operating systems are directed by file permissions on how to handle requests to access files.

An overview of file permissions

Read, write and execute are the three steps of file permission. To read the file you need Read permission, to modify it you require Write permission and to execute it you need execute permission.

Individuals and other files or programs can ask for access to read, write or execute the file. These internet requests permit users to gain access to the website.

The permission to read, write and execute is given separately in three different categories to provide more control. These categories are known as World, Group, and User. The file’s owner gains control through user permission, while group permission manages what programs and files in the folder can execute. World permissions manage what everyone else can access.

Here’s how file permission usage functions

In order to display your website’s pages in the user’s browser, the webserver needs to read it. Permission needs to be given for the website to work as it should.

  • The user should be able to write the images and HTML files on your website, while others being able to read them. Once you install or upload the file, it automatically gives these permissions.
  • Others should also be able to execute your folders. These permissions are also automatically put down. The user, world and group are able to read and execute the files when the value 755 setting is used. However, only the user will be able to write.
  • CGI files do not have automatic permissions set for it. Others also need to be able to execute these. The value 755 setting is needed here as well. However, once the files have been uploaded, you need to manually set these permissions as they are not given automatically.
