Right now, I know that I can change permissions for example with:

sudo chmod 550 directory

I wonder how I can check the actual folder permission.

You can use the following command:

ls -l directory

or

stat directory

or, if you want to see only the permissions in numeric (octal) format:

stat -c %a directory
