Don't knw what webtool you're using, but any developer with write access
to the file should be able to change the perms.

Nope. You should be able to script something using co/update instead of
export and accessing the admin files (preferrably through cvs status or

If you can export the database structure in a text format, it's easy.
All the databases I've played with would export their structure & even
permissions as a series of SQL drop/create commands. Just check those
files in.
