19. Mac OS X Permissions The Basics Permissions are the foundation of a multi-user file system like Mac OS X and UNIX Users and groups identify you & files you own Permissions mark your turf The files you can see and change The programs you can run Permissions are applied individually to each file and define who can read, write, and execute it.

20. Mac OS X Permissions Users and Groups A user is someone with an account on MacOS X Users have name, password, and are able to login Users have unique identity on machine Users have home directory for personal files Password is proof of identity A group is organizational unit to which any number of users may belong. Each user must belong to a least one group MacOS X specifies a primary group automatically Groups associate a group of users to a group of files

21. Mac OS X Permissions Every file in the file system has a set of permissions that define who can access the file, and how. Access is defined for three classes of user: the user owner the group owner everybody else - termed others . And each user is allowed, or disallowed from: reading the file writing to the file (or changing it in any way) executing the file (applicable to applications / programs).

22. Mac OS X Permissions Anatomy of Permission (using Terminal program) Character / text based tool for looking at file system Used before nice graphical interfaces existed in UNIX

23. Mac OS X Permissions Anatomy of Permission (using Terminal program) d at left end represents that the file is a directory / folder - at left end represents that file is just that - a file First set of rwx marks are permission for owner Second set of rwx marks are permissions for group Third set of rwx marks are permissions for others If an r,w,or x are missing, the permission is not granted

24. Permissions Changing Permissions on Folders Reason: tighter or looser security Quick Summary of Typical Settings Full access by everybody : wide open access Give, but don’t take : other users can put things in the folder, but can not actually open the folder Look, but don’t touch : Users can open and copy files from inside folder, but they can not put anything in or save any changes they make to items in folder

25. Permissions Changing Permissions Graphically Select folder, and press Command - I Click triangle for Ownership & Permissions The lock prevents accidentally change of owner and group, while still allowing access to be changed.
