using chmod you can give users certain privileges.

Following are the symbolic representation of three different roles:

  • u is for user,
  • g is for group,
  • and o is for others.

Following are the symbolic representation of three different permissions:

  • r is for read permission,
  • w is for write permission,
  • x is for execute permission.

ex command: chmod u+x filename

ex command2: chmod u+r,g+x filename

What is the command to obtain root permission in Linux for SSH?

There is no command specific to SSH. Whether you are physically using the machine in question or using an SSH client the process is the same. On Ubuntu, one is encouraged not to use the root account directly. To execute a command as root, enter sudo . On distros that don't include sudo, you can gain a root shell by entering the command su root. Both commands will require you to enter either your admin password or the root password, respectively.
