IntelliJ File Permissions Plugin

The File Permissions plugin allows the change of file permissions directly from IntelliJ.

It adds two actions:

• Change Permissions to change the permissions by showing you a dialog.
• Make File Executable to make the file executable by its owner.

These actions are accessible from the IntelliJ Actions: using shift-shift or control-shift-A (⇧⌘A on MacOS)

They are also accessible in the File menu and inside File Properties:

If you choose Change Permissions you will see the following dialog:

Installation

• Using IDE built-in plugin system:

  Settings/Preferences > Plugins > Marketplace > Search for "FilePermissionsPlugin" > Install Plugin

• Manually:

  Download the latest release and install it manually using Settings/Preferences > Plugins > ⚙️ > Install plugin from disk...

---

Plugin based on the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template.
