# File permission
This linter verifies if a file has unnecessary permissions.
If a file has execution permissions (+x), file-perm will
generate a warning.
It will ignore files starting with `#!` for types of files
that typically have shebang lines (such as python, node or
shell scripts).
This linter does not have any affect on Windows.
## Run Locally
This mozlint linter can be run using mach:
```{eval-rst}
.. parsed-literal::
$ mach lint --linter file-perm <file paths>
```
## Configuration
This linter is enabled on the whole code base.
This job is configured as [tier 2](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Sheriffing/Job_Visibility_Policy#Overview_of_the_Job_Visibility_Tiers).
## Autofix
This linter provides a `--fix` option.
