The permissions live on the file (command) itself.  In a *nix environment I
use some variation of "ls -l /path/to/file" to check the permissions.  In
Windows I would right-click on the file and go to Properties->Security.  I'm
not sure the best way to do it in OSX, but I'm sure you can figure that out.
