+ <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>
