Giving user rights on file systems

[vitalstrike82]

Hi experts, i need your help.
I know we can give user rights to any files by using chmod u+rw so that any user can read or write to the file.

What if i only want only 1 user among the many users to be able to read this specific file?
Please show me guidance

User home areas are set for single user access so you should be able to figure things out looking at those settings (create another user or try looking at root home area). Some file systems don't allow you to setup user access rights you can get more info on this from a number of places including link File system permissions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I want to see which user group can see this file on terminal, what commands should i enter?
