[QUOTE="Ahron20, post: 1657088, member: 350741"] Hey guys. I can't solve this problem. I want to change the file permissions for all files with a particular keyword so that I have full access and all other users have no access. Problem is, they are all in different folders, so when I search for them using the finder then select them all and view them with the inspector it simply says "you can read and write" but doesn't allow me to make changes. I am using Yosmite. This problem didn't occur with my old OSX. Can this be done with Automator or Terminal or some combination of the two? [/QUOTE]
