Setting permissions for specific user and groups in Linux

I have put some users into a group and would like to know how I use chmod to change the access permissions for only the members of that group. Thank you.

    -1 there is no research effort shown here, a simple look at `chmod --help` or manpages would have solved the problem. a google search would've yielded thousands of results and then it has been asked a lot of times here on superuser before. – Baarn May 23 '12 at 19:31

chmod g(+|-|=)<flags> [file ...]

Example:

chmod g+rw shared-file.txt

    Doesn't that depend on whether the group has been given ownership of the file? – PeanutsMonkey May 23 '12 at 19:22

  • Don't delete your answer, it's good and fits the question. And until the question is not closed everone is free to answer it. – Baarn May 23 '12 at 20:15
