You should use the chmod 664 routine.odt command to change the permissions of a file named access.odt such that the file owner can edit the file.
Key Takeaway: To use chmod to modify a file's permissions, you must either own the file or you must be logged in as root user. Entering chmod 664 schedule.odt command will grant Owner and Group read (4) and write (2) permissions. This will also grant Others read (4) permission.
