The "POSIX Permissions" rule contains a list of permissions that are associated with all files. Permissions can be set to allow certain users to have access to that particular file. Access to files can either be readable, writable or executable accesses. If only the readable permission is turned on, it means that the file can be read. No changes can be made to this file. If writable is turned on, it means that the specified user is allowed to write to this file. If executable is turned on, that means that those files are allowed to be executed. Permissions may be turned "On" or turned "Off". You can make either of these selections or choose that you "Don't Care" if they are either on or off. Below is a description of each permission.
Owner - Set
to determine what privileges the owner of the file has.
Group - Set to determine what privileges the group has.
Everyone - Set to determine what privileges everyone has with the file.
These permissions are often unknown to the user. That is why the 'Drag Hinting' feature in this situation is very useful. Once you drag a file to the "POSIX Permissions" rule, the appropriate settings will automatically be set.
