+To practice/review some previously utilized skills in order to obtain better mastery (assuming you've done the reading and successfully completed prior encounters with this topic), in combination with a specific focus on time management.
 It has been a while since we first encountered file permissions; yet they constantly remain ready to be put to use in our problem solving endeavours. I figure it would be a good time to have you review that concept, so this is a project dedicated to that, along with exploring them in further depth (and, well, time management).

 Any accumulated mistakes can be mitigated by doing problems in excess of the 144 required minimum. Once any mistakes have been nullified, some apportionment of bonus points can then be attained (not to exceed half the total points the project is worth).
 =====4th tier=====
-If you recall, there is an additional tier of permissions, corresponding to the "SetUID", "SetGID", and "Sticky Bit" modes. These represent a fourth value (the leading value).
+In addition to the classic three-valued permissions, there is an additional tier of permissions, corresponding to the "SetUID", "SetGID", and "Sticky Bit" modes. These represent a fourth value (the leading value).
 **Be aware:** Once you reach your 96th problem, this mode will be unlocked, and all modes entered will be 4-octal values long.
+To maintain general compatibility with the existing structure of the system, especially organization and real estate taken up by the display of the unix filemode string, this further tier of permissions instead overlays atop the 'x' fields of the user, group, and other fields.
 Breakdown is as follows:
-  * SetUID <nowiki>(s)</nowiki> is 4
+  * SetUID <nowiki>(s)</nowiki> has a value of 4
-    * this will manifest in the user field, overlaying the 'x' bit
+    * this will manifest in the user field, overlaying its 'x' bit position
-    * if no 'x' bit is present, 's' will be CAPITAL (S).
+    * 's' if 'x' is present, 'S' if 'x' is not present
-  * SetGID <nowiki>(s)</nowiki> is 2
+  * SetGID <nowiki>(s)</nowiki> has a value of 2
-    * this will manifest in the group field, overlaying the 'x' bit
+    * this will manifest in the group field, overlaying its 'x' bit position
-    * if no 'x' bit is present, 's' will be CAPITAL (S).
+    * 's' if 'x' is present, 'S' if 'x' is not present
-  * Sticky Bit <nowiki>(t)</nowiki> is 1
+  * the Sticky Bit <nowiki>(t)</nowiki> has a value of 1
-    * this will manifest in the other field, overlaying the 'x' bit
+    * this will manifest in the other field, overlaying its 'x' bit position
-    * if no 'x' bit is present, 't' will be CAPITAL (T).
+    * 't' if 'x' is present, 'T' if 'x' is not present
   * nothing <nowiki>(-)</nowiki> is 0
+You are to calculate this tier of permissions separate from the others (it is a distinct, separate fourth octal value, leading the classic three-valued permissions you've been working on so far).
 Over time, there may be changes in display form and difficulty. Think it through, answer with confidence!
+=====Time Delay=====
+To reinforce mastery, there is a time delay instituted to prevent accomplishing this task in one sitting. You will have to plan your time accordingly to perform this project in the time allotted.
 =====Project Stats=====
+A general overview of how the class has approached the project:
+{{:haas:spring2022:unix:projects:usr0class.png?640|}}
+where each color represents one individual's activity that day, stacked with that of others, enabling an overall per day general class activity. Higher bars and larger chunks of bars denote greater activity.
+And a more individual effort:
+{{:haas:spring2022:unix:projects:usr0user.png?640|}}
+where each line is an individual's cumulative progress over the set of days the project is available. The higher the line, the more work is being done.
-{{:haas:spring2022:unix:projects:usr0.png?640|}}
 =====Submission=====
 Submission for this project is super-easy: simply complete the minimum required problems (144) by the deadline; no need to manually submit anything- just doing your **urev** allotments on lab46 is all that needs to be done.
