Changing permissions for files and directories

You can use the chmod command to set or change permissions for your files and directories. To change permissions, you must be the owner or a superuser. (If you are uncertain about ownership, use the ls -l command and look for your TSO/E user ID.)

You can specify the chmod command like this:

chmod mode pathname

You can specify the mode in symbolic form or as an octal value. For more information on the chmod command, see the chmod command description in z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
