operation permissions

[ktrboston]

Good day all,
I am very new and am having problems with user permissions. I want to be able to allow users to run a certain program. It requires the user to "Make" but when the they do they receive an error Permission denied. They need permission to create see error

FATAL: can't create rhcli.o: Permission denied

I have tried to understand the userid # and I get confused. I want the user to have some root permissions but not 100%. How do I do this. Thank you!


insmod: error inserting './dpio2-linux-kernel-module.ko': -1 Operation not permitted

Is this multiple users on one machine?
Multiple users on a LAN?
What type of program?
Where is the program located, what directory?
You would need write permissions in whichever directory to create/modify.
You can change permissions by logging in as root from a command line and on many systems using the GUI.
It would be helpful if you let us know which distribution of Linux you are using.

Use the magic of sudo.
