Ubuntu Folder Permission Administration - Super User

how i can bulk change directory, folder and file permissions in Ubuntu using the GUI.
What you want to do is a admin task so you need nautilus in administration mode. From a terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T or dash, "terminal") issue:
sudo nautilus 
  • enter password;
  • navigate to directory
  • Right click on empty space in the main window of nautilus
  • Click on properties and go to tab permissions
  • Change permissons to what you need
Example of a random directory from my system (/var/tmp/):
enter image description here

The highlighted part does the files inside the directory.
