Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 10 SP1 - KDE 14-05-2007, Manual, Page: 34 / 354

the user concept of Linux, refer to Section “Users and Access Permissions” (Chapter 15,
Working with the Shell, ↑Deployment Guide). Instead of using the “traditional” way to
change access permissions in a shell, you can also use the graphical user interface
Konqueror provides.
To set permissions for a file, choose from the following options in Konqueror:
Forbidden
Users can see the filename in the file system but cannot open the file and read it.
Can Read
Users can open and read the file but cannot change it.
Can Read & Write
Users can open, read, and change the file.
To set permissions for a folder, the following options are available in Konqueror:
Forbidden
Users can see the folder name in the file system but cannot open the folder.
Can View Content
Users can see the folder contents.
Can View & Modify Content
Users can see the folder contents and create new files or subfolders.
To change access permissions:
1
Open Konqueror and select the file or folder for which to change access permis-
sions.
2 Right-click the file and select Properties. A new dialog opens.
3 Click the Permissions tab. It shows the ownership of the file or folder in the
lower part. The upper part shows the current access permissions.
4
From the lists for Owner, Group, and Others, select the permissions to set for
the file or folder.
5
Click OK to apply the changes.
