Managing file permissions with the File Manager

Procédure

Introduction

Web file rights, or permissions, determine who can read, write or execute a file on a web server. Generally made up of three levels (owner, group, public), they ensure security by controlling access to files. Modifying these permissions is important to protect sensitive data, allow content updates by authorised users, and prevent unauthorised access or malicious modifications. Proper rights management is therefore essential for the security and optimal operation of a website.
