Can I change the APP folder permission

I want use Git tool to manage the splunk APP code, the Git need write and read permission for the APP folder, but when I create a app by splunk web, the permission of app folder is 'drwx--x---+ 6 splunk splunk' , so when I login the Linux server by my account, I can't use git tool for it. so I want to know if I change the folder permission to 777, and it's subfolder to 755, dose the splunk app always work correctly? thanks
