# Parse UNIX file permissions

Given a UNIX/Linux file permission string in octal or textual format, this operation explains which permissions are granted to which user groups. Input should be in either octal (e.g. `755`) or textual (e.g. `drwxr-xr-x`) format. Parse UNIX file permissions lives in the **Utils** category of the `fx` menu.
