1. Challenge

   Reset Permissions on /opt/myapp Directory

   In order to allow access to the /opt/myapp directory, the student will need to provide specific permissions to the directory itself so it can be read by users other than the owner.

   Accomplish this task with:

   sudo chmod 755 /opt/myapp
   

   Optionally, although less secure, the following would meet the requirements as well:

   sudo chmod 777 /opt/myapp
   

2. Challenge

   Permissions on Files and Folders Within /opt/myapp

   The student is asked to allow read and write permissions to all files and folders within the /opt/myapp directory (including files within the subfolders recursively).

   This task can be completed successfully via:

   sudo chmod 666 -R /opt/myapp/*
   

   Note: For users to be able to navigate into directories, the directories must be set as executable. You can do this with:

       sudo find /opt/myapp -type d -exec chmod o+x {} \;
