I have 2 users, lets say agus and jenkins



user jenkins belongs to agus group



$ grep 'agus' /etc/group
agus:x:1011:nexus,jenkins


I have a folder /home/agus/temp, and I want both users to be able to rwx in that folder, I executed



$ sudo chmod -R 775 /home/agus/temp/


But when I do that jenkins user has no permissions to write in the folder, and if I execute this



$ sudo chmod --recursive a+rwx /home/agus/temp/


jenkins has permissions but agus does not

    I'm proposing an edit to the title, to avoid confusion with the Jenkins software package.

  • Some vital information is missing: who is the owner and who is the group owner of the temp directory?
