<title>SetPermissions Task</title>

<body>

<h2 id="setpermissions">SetPermissions</h2>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.10.0</em>.</p>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Changes the file permissions using Java's NIO support for permissions.</p>
<p>This task provides a subset of the platform specific abilities of <a href="chmod.html">chmod</a>
and <a href="attrib.html">attrib</a> in a platform independent way.</p>
<p>If no permissions are specified either via the mode or the permissions attribute, then all
permissions will be removed from the nested resources.</p>
<p>The task accepts arbitrary resources as part of the nested resource collections, but not all
resources support setting permissions. This task won't do anything for resources that don't support
setting permissions&mdash;for example URLs.</p>
<p>The permissions are applied to all resources contained within the nested resources
collections. You may want to ensure the collection only returns files or directories if you want
different sets of permissions to apply to either type of resource.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<table class="attr">
  <tr>
    <th>Attribute</th>
    <th>Description</th>
    <th>Required</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>permissions</td>
    <td>The permissions to set as comma separated list of names
      of <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/file/attribute/PosixFilePermission.html"
      target="_top">PosixFilePermission</a> values.</td>
    <td>No</td>

  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>nonPosixMode</td>
    <td>What to do if changing the permissions of a file is not possible because the file-system
      doesn't support POSIX file permissions. Possible options are <q>fail</q> (fail the
      build), <q>pass</q> (just log an error), <q>tryDosOrFail</q> (at least try to set the
      read-only flag on DOS file systems, fail if that isn't possible either)
      and <q>tryDosOrPass</q> (at least try to set the read-only flag on DOS file systems, just log
      an error if that isn't possible either).</td>
    <td>No; defaults to <q>fail</q></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>failonerror</td>
    <td>Whether to stop the build if setting permissions fails.</td>
