    Apply changes to all subfoldersand their contents - sudo konqueror

    I am attempting to use konqueror to navigate and reset permissions for team group folders.
    On the permissions dialogue window the bottom checkbox remains unavailable even though I opened konqueror using sudo.
    Is there a way to set my user to have the privilege of applying the permissions recursively using konqueror? See attached screen shot. Thanks in advance.

    Does it have to be konqueror?
    This is probably just a oneliner in terminal.

    Something like:
    Code:
    sudo chmod -R g+r <FOLDER>
    Exact command depends on what you actually want to do.
    I just guessed "recursively add read permissions for the group"
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    Thank you for your response. I am aware of the command line tools for editing permissions, however when visually browsing and restructuring our server shares, it would be advantageous to have the full functionality of the Permissions dialogue window in konqueror.

    Anyone have any idea why the checkbox is not editable?

    I don't know that Fedora has sudo enabled by default. You can use the command suggested above, modified to suit your needs or you can use: kdesu konqueror and you will be prompted for a password. That's if you are using kde. If you are using gnome gksu konqueror should work.

    Dera yancek, running kdesu prompts for the ROOT's password. I am a member of the sudoers file, but I do not have the root password.
    I have tried sudo konqueror and the -R checkbox is unavailable as pictured and described above.
    It lets me modify the Advanced Permissions using the GUI, but it does not allow the recursive option via the checkbox:
    Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents.

    Any ideas?
