Matt,
the advanced permissions mode was evidently removed last August:

commit 87cfa404d845cbd59b7bf5c95931aa930dbe3d15 (patch)
Remove advanced permissions
This mode is worse than useless because it is impossible to find,
it complicates the ongoing maintanence of the dialog, and if there
is important configuration in it we should be offering it by default
without a special hidden mode.

I've always used dconf-editor to enable the

has been moved?
The advanced-permissions makes managing file/folder permissions a lot
easier and is a must-have setting. I set up Ubuntu computers thru the
office and everyone prefers the advanced-permissions to the current
default. Another advantage to advanced-permissions is that it allows
users control over the execute permission across User/Group/Other
(whereas the default GUI only allows it to be set on or off for all
three categories).
I hope show-advanced-permissions wasn't removed? That would be a bad
move. I ask that it please be reinstated in dconf-editor in the next
GNOME release or that the advanced-permission view be made the
default.
I filed a bug report but it has received no attention:
