Permissions for both Windows and Unix file system files can be managed at https://ubfs.buffalo.edu/

Click on the lock icon displayed to the right of a folder or file listing on any index page to open the permissions management tool.

A Windows file or folder may have multiple owners (groups or individuals) with different permissions.

Modify or add an owner by:

• checking the owner’s name from the list or entering a new owner’s name in the UBITName or group box
• selecting the desired permissions
• choosing the extent of the change (“This change will apply to”)
• selecting  the Modify or Add button

A Unix file or folder has a single individual owner plus a single group owner.

Current permissions of the individual owner are displayed and can be modified by:

• Adding checked permissions to current set
• Removing checked permissions from the current set
• Replacing the current set with a new set
