user permissions

my user name no longer appears in the permissions pane of the get info window in OSX on a couple of my hard drives. Does anyone know the fix?

There is nothing abnormal about this.


The default permissions on external drives are typically

  • System
  • Admin
  • Everyone


Had you set specific permissions for your user name on these drives?
