I want to grant a single user write permissions to a directory owned by root over command line. With chmod, it seems that I can only change the permissions for owner, group and other, not for a specific user.

If filesystem is mounted with the acl option (default in ext4 in any modern Ubuntu - if not, add it to /etc/fstab), you can use setfacl:



setfacl -m u:USERNAME:r FILENAME


would give user USERNAME read access to FILENAME.
