Q. How do I change my directory permissions?

A. Permissions are changed by the command chmod. To open read+write permissions to everyone to your user directory, start from your home directory:

 cd .. 
chmod -R 777 <username>

<username> is your Linux username. -R implies recursive permissions on all folders in the tree.

To turn permissions back off, use command from outside of your home directory

 chmod -R 700 <username> 

For a better understanding of how permissions work in Linux, use Google search.
