In Linux, the owner of a file or folder can give write permission to other users the following way:
1. Open a terminal window and log in as a user with root privileges
2. Type “chmod u+w filename” (without quotation marks) to give write permission to the user for the file named ‘filename’
3. Type “chmod g+w filename” (without quotation marks) to give write permission to all members of the group the file belongs to
4. Type “chmod o+w filename” (without quotation marks) to give write permission to all other users
5. Press Enter, and the specified user will be granted write permission to the file.
