As the Editor's caution noted this is extremely dangerous if you are not entirely certain of what you are doing. Changing the permissions on the root disk can even cause login to fail and render you totally screwed.
Even a seemingly harmless action such as changing the permissions of the Utilities folder in the Applications folder can cause some applications to fail to be able to authenticate the user.
