+  <title>Set file permissions</title>
+
+  <p>You can use file permissions control who can view and edit files that
+  you own. To view and set the permissions for a file, right click it and
+  select <gui>Properties</gui>, then select the <gui>Permissions</gui> tab.</p>
+
+  <p>See <link xref="#files"/> and <link xref="#folders"/> below for details
+  on the types of permissions you can set.</p>
+
+  <section id="files">
+    <title>Files</title>
+
+    <p>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.</p>
+
+    <p>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.</p>
+
+    <p>You can also set the permissions for users other than the owner and
+    those in the file's group.</p>
+
+    <p>If the file is a program, such as a script, you must select <gui>Allow
+    executing file as program</gui> to run it. Even with this option selected,
+    the file manager may still open the file in an application or ask you
+    what to do. See <link xref="nautilus-behavior#executable"/> for more
+    information.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section id="folders">
+    <title>Folders</title>
+    <p>You can set permissions on folders for the owner, group, and other users.
+    See the details of file permissions above for an explanation of owners,
+    groups, and other users.</p>
+    <p>The permissions you can set for a folder are different from those you
+    can set for a file.</p>
+    <terms>
+      <item>
+        <title><gui>None</gui></title>
+        <p>The user will not even be able to see what files are in
+        the folder.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <title><gui>List files only</gui></title>
+        <p>The user will be able to see what files are in the folder,
+        but will not be able to open, create, or delete files.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <title><gui>Access files</gui></title>
+        <p>The user will be able to open files in the folder (provided
+        they have permission to do so on the particular file), but will
+        not be able to create new files or delete files.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <title><gui>Create and delete files</gui></title>
+        <p>The user will have full access to the directory, including
+        opening, creating, and deleting files.</p>
+      </item>
+    </terms>
 
+    <p>You can also quickly set the file permissions for all the files
+    in the folder by using the <gui>File access</gui> drop-down lists
+    and the <gui>Execute</gui> option. Leave the drop-down lists as
+    <gui>---</gui> for no change, or the <gui>Execute</gui> check box
+    in the indeterminate state (a horizontal line across it).</p>
+    <p>If you click <gui>Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files</gui>, the
+    file manager will adjust the read, write, and execute permissions of
+    contained files based on the <gui>File access</gui> and <gui>Execute</gui>
+    options you set. It will also change the permissions of contained folders
+    to match the permissions of that folder. Permissions for enclosed files
+    are applied to files in subfolders as well, to any depth.</p>
