If you have Java 1.7 or greater, you can change the POSIX permissions
after-the-fact, like this:
import java.nio.file.*
import java.nio.file.attribute.PosixFilePermission
def file = Paths.get('/path/to/file')
def permissions = [
PosixFilePermission.OWNER_READ,
PosixFilePermission.OWNER_WRITE,
PosixFilePermission.GROUP_READ,
PosixFilePermission.GROUP_WRITE,
PosixFilePermission.OTHERS_READ,
] as Set
Files.setPosixFilePermissions(file, permissions)
