FILE OWNER AND PERMISSIONS

   davfs2  implements  Unix  permissions  for access control. But changing
   owner and permissions of a file is only local.  It  is  intended  as  a
   means for the owner of the file system, to control whether other local
   users may access this file system.

   The server does not know about this. From the  servers  point  of  view
   there  is  just  one  user  (identified  by the credentials) connected.
   Another WebDAV-client, connected to the same server, is not affected by
   this local changes.
