To learn more about how to set permissions with chmod and octal-mode read How linux works page 35-37, or pick a book about GNU/Linux and check the index for permissions and/or chmod.
To learn more about octal numbers (that’s the number system the octal-mode of chmod uses) read chapters 10 and 12 of the book Code: the hidden language of computer hardware and software by Charles Petzold - so you can come up with chmod code without looking them up.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.
> What's the book about?

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?
I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
