A user, "jdoe", has a primary group of "jdoe" and is also a member of the "editors" group. The user navigates into the /data directory, which shows these attributes:
drwxr-sr-x 2 root editors 4096 Jul 30 10:00 /data
The user then creates a file named draft.txt inside /data. Which group will own draft.txt?
root
users
editors
jdoe
The group owner will be "editors". The "s" in the group-permission field (r-s) indicates the setgid bit is set on /data. When this bit is present on a directory, the kernel assigns the directory's group to any file or subdirectory created within, regardless of the creator's primary group. The process's Effective Group ID (EGID) does not change; only the new file's group ID is inherited from the parent directory. Without the setgid bit, the file would have inherited the creator's primary group instead.
