Note that you have to own the current mapset. So to start GRASS in the
PERMANENT mapset, you have to own it (or su/sudo to the user who owns
it).

If you don't the necessary privileges, other users can still access
your maps either by using the map at mapset notation, or by using
g.mapsets to add your mapset to their mapset search path. In either
case, they need the necessary filesystem permissions.
