<title>Set file permissions</title>

|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
You can use file permissions to control who can view and edit files that
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
you own. To view and set the permissions for a file, right click it and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
select <gui>Properties</gui>, then select the <gui>Permissions</gui> tab.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
See <link xref="#files"/> and <link xref="#folders"/> below for details
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
on the types of permissions you can set.

You can set the permissions for the file owner, the group owner,
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
and all other users of the system. For your files, you are the owner,
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
and you can give yourself read-only or read-and-write permission.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Set a file to read-only if you don’t want to accidentally change it.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Every user on your computer belongs to a group. On home computers,
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
it is common for each user to have their own group, and group permissions
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
are not often used. In corporate environments, groups are sometimes used
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
for departments or projects. As well as having an owner, each file belongs
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
to a group. You can set the file’s group and control the permissions for
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
all users in that group. You can only set the file’s group to a group you
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
belong to.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
You can also set the permissions for users other than the owner and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
those in the file’s group.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
If the file is a program, such as a script, you must select <gui>Allow
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
executing file as program</gui> to run it. Even with this option selected,
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the file manager may still open the file in an application or ask you
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
what to do. See <link xref="nautilus-behavior#executable"/> for more
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
information.

You can set permissions on folders for the owner, group, and other users.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
See the details of file permissions above for an explanation of owners,
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
groups, and other users.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
The permissions you can set for a folder are different from those you
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
can set for a file.

The user will be able to open files in the folder (provided

they have permission to do so on the particular file), but will

6d2957 |

opening, creating, and deleting files.

You can also quickly set the file permissions for all the files
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
in the folder by clicking <gui>Change Permissions for Enclosed Files</gui>.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Use the drop-down lists to adjust the permissions of contained files or
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
folders, and click <gui>Change</gui>. Permissions are applied to files and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
folders in subfolders as well, to any depth.
