+File permission
+===============
+
+This linter verifies if a file has unnecessary permissions.
+If a file has execution permissions (+x), file-perm will
+generate a warning.
+
+It will ignore files starting with ``#!`` for types of files
+that typically have shebang lines (such as python, node or
+shell scripts).
+
+This linter does not have any affect on Windows.
+
+
+Run Locally
+-----------
+
+This mozlint linter can be run using mach:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+ $ mach lint --linter file-perm <file paths>
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+This linter is enabled on the whole code base.
+
+This job is configured as `tier 2 <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Sheriffing/Job_Visibility_Policy#Overview_of_the_Job_Visibility_Tiers>`_.
+
+Autofix
+-------
+
+This linter provides a ``--fix`` option. The python script is doing the change itself.
