In CentOS, you can use the command “id” to view the permissions of the current user. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Open the terminal window.
  2. Enter the following command and press the Enter key:
id

You will see output similar to the following:

uid=1000(your_username) gid=1000(your_group) groups=1000(your_group),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),113(lpadmin),128(sambashare)

In this example, you can see the permission information of the current user, including the user ID (uid), group ID (gid), and other additional groups.
