Magento 2 file permission

Use the following steps:

1. If you haven’t already done so, log in to your Magento server as, or switch to, the Magento file system owner.
2. Change to the Magento installation directory:

   cd <web server docroot>/<magento2 base dir>

   The base directory is typically a subdirectory named magento2 under your web server’s docroot. Need help locating the docroot? Click here.

   Examples:

   Ubuntu: /var/www/magento2
   CentOS: /var/www/html/magento2

    

3. Set ownership:

   chown -R :<your web server group name> .

   Typical examples:

   CentOS: chown -R :apache .
   Ubuntu: chown -R :www-data .

    

4. Set permissions:

   find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \; && chmod u+x bin/magento

   If you must enter the commands as sudo, use:

   sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \; && sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \; && sudo chmod u+x bin/magento
