| Group | In this row, specify what a group of owners of a file or folder may do by selecting the checkboxes below the corresponding identifiers. |
| Others | In this row, specify what anyone else may do by selecting the checkboxes below the corresponding identifiers. |
| Octal | In this field, specify the [octal representation](http://www.slackbook.org/html/filesystem-structure-permissions.html) of the specified set of permissions.
