You can set the permissions for the file owner, the group owner, and all other users of the system. For your files, you are the owner, and you can give yourself read-only or read-and-write permission. Set a file to read-only if you don’t want to accidentally change it.

Every user on your computer belongs to a group. On home computers, it is common for each user to have their own group, and group permissions are not often used. In corporate environments, groups are sometimes used for departments or projects. As well as having an owner, each file belongs to a group. You can set the file’s group and control the permissions for all users in that group. You can only set the file’s group to a group you belong to.

You can also set the permissions for users other than the owner and those in the file’s group.

If the file is a program, such as a script, you must switch on the Executable as Program switch to run it. Even with this option selected, the file manager will still open the file in an application. See Εκτελέσιμα αρχεία κειμένου for more information.
