Adopting the Owner ID of a Program File
effective user ID and saved-set-user-ID of any process created by running the program
file are set to owner ID of the program file (rather than the effective user ID) and saved-
set-user-ID of the creating process. This option allows the owner of the program file to
control the files that the new process can access and to control the operations that can
be performed on or by the process.
A similar permission bit, the set-group-ID bit, can be used to adopt the program file’s
group ID as the process’s effective group ID and saved-set-group-ID.
