BatChmod allows you fully control permissions and privilege in Mac OS X’s settings for files, folders and disks.
Changing the permissions can leave certain files and folders inaccessible if it's not altered correctly*. If you are having issues accessing or file or if you don't have permission to access it, BatChmod will instantly give you access.
Once installed, simply browse to the file or folder that you need to change permissions on. You can now target specific files and folders without having to change the permissions for your entire system.

*It should be easier to reverse changes using the BatChmod GUI than trying to reverse them using Terminal.
