3.2 Ensure that Rights are Correct

For any number of reasons, user home directories tend to vary in their rights assignments. Varied rights assignments are also common among group storage areas. Improper rights settings can affect capabilities within Filr. For example, if a home directory has only Read and File Scan rights, a user won’t be able to modify and save files. You should therefore ensure the rights to these directories are correct.
