My support staff are allowed to look things up.

My users, when faced with a result which means "permission error" will probably 
grant all permissions to all apps and all users because that’s the simplest way 
to make a permission error message go away.  My users don’t understand the 
Posix permission model, because they’re not computer experts, they are 
financial sector specialists, or psychologists, or tailors.  I don’t want them 
thinking about computer problems.  If they knew enough about computer problems 
to fix a permission problem the right way, they wouldn’t be paying me.

Simon.
