Using the ls command:
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory or file for which you want to check permissions. Then run the following command:
ls -l The output will display the file or directory permissions for the current location, including the owner, group, and permissions for the file or directory.
Using the stat command:

stat <file> The output will include various information, including the permissions of the specified file or directory.
