Sorry, this not English. Agree with opolt: 'own files' and 'files you have created' are not the same thing.

... know your entire context, so I'm not sure ... it doesn't sound too idiomatic if you ask me, but I'm not a native speaker of English. That said, I would (again) propose: "full access to the files and folders (as) created by you".

My main point was that unlike your typical Windows machine, file servers and other multiuser environments have rather sophisticated file permissions, and language should reflect that differentiation if possible.

@opolt: I got the point with the permission order. Thanks. Perhaps I could translate it like this? 'Full access to your own created files and folders' ? It does sound a little off, but I need this phrased as a title, since it is followed by a detailed description (it is a user manual, that's why the 'you' form).

... in technical terms. Whenever a file or folder is created (normally through an application, but not always), it will automatically be assigned the system's default permissions (umask in UNIX lingo), or the default permissions set by the sys admin. Subsequently, i.e. after file creation, file permissions may be changed again, either by a sys admin, a group admin or similar user with higher order permissions, or by the original user (within limits), or even by an application.

Not to mention the fact that in a multiuser context, the plural "their own" may also refer to group permissions (or not), so it is recommendable to adhere to the original terminology if possible (and in this case, it is possible). It might be important.

I will 'take' the 'own files and folders' suggestion. Seems to fit best in a title. Danke sehr!
