Control Alter Mac OS X Are Found

Permission settings let you choose who can view and alter files on your Mac.

You change permission settings at the bottom of the Info window for a file, folder, or disk in the Finder.

For example, you can change permission settings for a folder so that other users who log in to your Mac, or connect to it for file sharing, can view but not change files in a folder.

Read Only allows a user to open the item, but not change its contents.

Write Only allows users to copy items to the drop box, but not open it.

This can be a great time-saver as you dont have to individually select files to determine who can access or view them.

You can change permissions for files in the same folder or for all files on any drive.

If the Sharing and Permissions option doesnt display, click the triangle to make it visible.
