File and Directory Permissions

    This section deals with UNIX file protections only. Files under the AFS file system (see later in this Chapter) use a different protection scheme which is described fully in the CERN AFS User Guide (see later for reference).

UNIX allows you to access other files and directories in the system, but only if you have permission from the owner of those directories and files.
