Cannot access a folder in terminal even though read, write and execute permissions are set for everyone I have created a folder with user 'afayes' called tempfolder in directory '/Users/afayes' and have set permissions to be able to read, write and execute for all users:

drwx---rwx    2 afayes  staff          64  6 Mar 15:16 tempfolder


I am trying to access the tempfolder with user called 'testuser'. From the directory '/Users/afayes' I am executing:

cd tempfolder/


I get the error

-bash: cd: tempfolder: Permission denied


When I try to access the same folder with another user called 'jenkins' I can access it. I don't understand why 'testuser' cannot access it.
The problem you are having is because it has no group permissions.

Execute chmod -R g+rwx /Users/afayes/tempfolder in the shell. At that point the permissions will be drwxrwxrwx and all will be well.
