Here goes: How do you specify negative permission¹ in Unix/Linux
without using ACLs?

¹E.g. saying that the user "Ellen" should not have write access to a
file regardless of the permissions given to her groups.


Try making "Ellen" the owner of the file and giving it 464 access.

She is still the owner of the file and can chmod it back, so it depends
on the tech savvy of Ellen.

Other ideas?
