The server must be setup with the appropriate files, folders, users, groups and permissions to ensure a successful launch of the newly designed departments.

- Create a group for each department. This name should reflect the department name that the group will be assigned.
- Create an administrative user for each of the departments.The user will have a Bash login shell
- The user will belong to the respective group for each department. This will need to be the user's primary group.
- Create two additional users for each department. The users will have a Bash login shell.
- The users will belong to their respective group for each department. This will need to be the user's primary group.
- For security reasons, the following modifications will need to be made to each of the departments' respective directories:Ensure that the owner of each of the directories is the department administrator and the group ownership is the group for each department.
- The department administrator will have full access to their respective department directories.
- Ensure that only the owner of a file in the department's directory can delete the file. The user will also have ownership of their respective department folders.
- Normal users in each department will have full access (Read, Write and Execute) to their respective department folders.
- The department folders will ONLY be accessible by users/administrators in each of the respective departments. Ensure that no one else will have permissions to the folders.
- Create a document in each of the department directories. The ownerships on this file will be the same as the directory it is located in.
- The document should contain only one line of text that states, "This file contains confidential information for the department."
