Katie,

	If a user creates a file, then the same user should be able to edit it or change it's permissions. Make sure that all folders in the folder's path where data files are store and accessed from have write/access permissions set to allow any user editing those file. Also, CLAN should be installed by a user with administrator permissions.

Leonid.
