If you want to see, when you do not have write permissions on the current folder, you can set `POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_SHOW_WRITABLE=true`.
You can also configure the `dir` segment to show when you are in a directory without write permissions, using the variable below.
This will set the `dir` segment to a `NOT_WRITABLE` state when current folder is not writable, allowing you to customize the `dir` segment [colors](https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k/wiki/Stylizing-Your-Prompt#segment-color-customization).
| Variable | Default Value | Description |
|----------|---------------|-------------|
|`POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_SHOW_WRITABLE`|`false`|If set to `true` and you are in a directory that you do not have write permissions for, this segment will display a lock icon and enter the `NOT_WRITABLE` state (which can be customized per [our usual process](https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k/wiki/Stylizing-Your-Prompt#segment-color-customization). Note that this functionality is also available in a separate segment, `dir_writable`.|
