can't edit file which doesn't have u+w permission, but has g+w

[Marius Andreiana]

emacs-20.5

I have the file
-r--rw-r--   1 marius   marius       7248 Jan  5 05:15 osd_update.php3
emacs doesn't let me edit it

----:%%-F1  osd_update.php3    
(Fundamental)--L1--Top-------------------------Note: file is write
protected

I should be able to edit it, the group I'm in has write permissions. I
am able to edit it with other editors.

Wouldn't be better to leave permission handling to operating system, and
just print a message if it isn't able to save it when I choose Save if I
don't have the necesary permissions?

Thanks
