I don't know if it's the same as on a Mac, but on this platform you can have users of different levels, so your kids don't accidentally delete system files, etc., when they are doing their school work. Sometimes certain files need to be protected, too, or even hidden so you don't mess them up accidentally, even as an adult! You can also have files that certain users can read, but not alter, which is for large networks (or small networks!) It makes sense to me, even though I have to manage permissions from time to time when the bit gets set wrongly.
