*   '''Read''' - Denoted as '''r''', files with '''read access''' can be displayed to the user.
*   '''Write''' - Denoted as '''w''', files with '''write access''' can be modified by the user.
*   '''Execute''' - Denoted as '''x''', files with '''execute access''' can be executed as programs by the user.

Access types are set for three types of user group:

*  '''User''' - The owner of the file.
*  '''Group''' - Other files of the same folder or group.
*  '''World''' - Everyone else.
