Groups Command

JANOS implements a file permission scheme modeled after Unix file permissions. Those familiar with the Linux recognize the permissions in JANOS file listings.

There are 3 groups of ‘rwx’ permissions. The first is for the file owner. The second for the group associated with the file. And, the third is for everyone else. This implies some kind of User Groups. Note that on the Series 3 there are no User Groups and so file permissions were somewhat shortened.

JANOS allows you to define a User Group using the GROUPADD command. There is a root group by default to which no one belongs.

The GROUPS command lists the defined user groups and any users associated with each.
