Unsure about correct permissions in running Ruby Scripts

Question

I get the following alert when I run a Ruby script

warning: Insecure world writable dir /Users/cs/Documents in PATH, mode 040777

The solution is to change the permissions. However, I am unsure which one is the appropriate one.

I use many user accounts for different purposes. I have one main account by which I run the commands at my cs -account.

Which permissions would you give for the cs -account?

Answer 1

Just run chmod og-w /Users/cs/Documents and all should be well.

This will remove the "other" and "group" write access permissions.
