I've always used dconf-editor to enable the "show-advanced-permissions" setting 
for Nautilus Permissions. Upon installing Ubuntu 13.04 with GNOME 3.6 (I 
believe) I cannot find the setting. It's historically been located at 
dconf-editor> org> gnome> nautilus> preferences> show-advanced-permissions. 
Perhaps the setting 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:
