Changing z/OS Unix file and directory permissions

Depending on the function you are trying to perform, you might want to change the access permissions for a file or a directory in the z/OS Unix file system. You can change the permissions using the z/OS® Explorer.

1. In the z/OS Unix Files view right-click the file or directory for which you want to change the permissions and click Properties. The Properties dialog is displayed showing the current access setting.
   
2. If this file is to be exported, you can specify if the file should be treated as binary or text by setting the transfer mode.
3. Select the access permissions required by selecting or deselecting the check boxes.
4. Click Apply to apply the settings without closing the dialog, or click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog.
