Installation

Can I change the APP folder's permissions?

I want to use the Git tool to manage the Splunk APP code. The Git needs write and read permission for the APP folder, but when I create an app by Splunk web, the permission of app folder is 'drwx--x---+ 6 splunk splunk' .

So when I login to the Linux server by my account, I can't use the git tool for it.

So I want to know if I change the folder permission to 777, and its subfolder to 755, will the Splunk app always work correctly?

thanks
