How to Change the Permission for a File in cPanel

The following tutorial explains how to change the permission for a file in cPanel. The user, as well as other processes and files that require access to the file, may make requests to read, write, or execute.

Before knowing the process let us understand the levels of file permission:

a) Read permission: It allows a file to be read.

b) Write permission: It enables a file to be modified.

c) Execute permission: It allows a file to be executed.

1. Log in to cPanel.
   
2. Select the “File Manager” sub-option under the “files” option.
   
3. Select the file whose permission needs to be changed.
4. Click on the “Permissions” option.
   
5. A window will open up. Here you can change the permissions settings by selecting or deselecting the small box.
