Explanation

• Unix-like operating systems identify users within the kernel by an unsigned integer value called a user identifier, often abbreviated to UID or User ID. The range of UID values varies amongst different systems; at the very least, a UID represents a 15-bit integer, ranging between 0 and The UID value references users in the /etc/passwd file. Shadow password files and Network Information Service also refer to numeric UIDs. The user identifier has become a necessary component of Unix file systems and processes. * In POSIX-compliant environments the command-line command id gives the user's user identifier number as well as more information on the user account like the user name, primary user group and group identifier (GID). * Files and directories are owned by a user. The owner determines the file's owner class. Distinct permissions apply to the owner. Files and directories are assigned a group, which define the file's group class. Distinct permissions apply to members of the file's group members. The owner may be a member of the Users who are not the owner, nor a member of the group, comprise a file's others class. Distinct permissions apply to others. The effective permissions are determined based on the user's class. For example, the user who is the owner of the file will have the permissions given to the owner class regardless of the permissions assigned to the group class or others class.
