Permission for Magento user - Magento 2.4.2

Question

May I know the permission for the Magento user to run the cmd SSH/putty. I had checked the Magento documentation but I can't understand for which file need to give 777 and which files need to change the permission. Till now I working on sudo su mode only. And how to handle the permission in production and sandbox.

Answer 1

You should set as bellow recommended Permissions.

cd <your Magento install dir>

For files 644 : find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

For Directory 755 : find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

For var folder 777 : find ./var -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

For pub/media folder 777 : find ./pub/media -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

For pub/static folder 777 : find ./pub/static -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

For app/etc folder 777 : chmod 777 ./app/etc

For app/etc .xml file 644 : chmod 644 ./app/etc/*.xml

chown -R :<web server group> .

chmod u+x bin/magento

Answer 2

I recommended following the Adobe dev-docs.

Set file permissions

1. cd /var/www/html/
2. find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} +
3. find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} +
4. chown -R :www-data . # Ubuntu
5. chmod u+x bin/magento
