The Mac keeps track of all the same permissions that UNIX has: owner, group, and all. You 
can change the owner or group from a popup menu, and change permissions by checking or 
unchecking the appropriate boxes. 

Just choose 'Sharing' from the file menu on any Mac with System 7, and no, you don't need 
At Ease or any other add-on piece of software. 

Hope this helps to clear up your confusion,
