Q: Adding a user and changing permissions globally.
I recently had to make a clean install on my Mac Pro following the replacement of both processors by Apple. After they worked on it there was a different user listed as Admin. I've created my own user name which works on the OS drive but I can't access the files on my other drives without manually adding my new user in the file info box and changing permissions to read/write. How can I add my user name and change permissions to all the folders and files? Using Terminal? What commands do I need?

Yes, I tried that. The permissions didn't change for the folders. I'm OK with terminal if someone can give me clear enough instructions.
