What do you mean by 'looking at the file permissions'? Do you mean
the file permissions of the tarball or the files inside the tarball?
Sometimes it can be helpful to provide the actual commands and it's

What Brian tries to tell you is that if untarring as root the file
ownership and modes are preserved as displayed by e.g.:
tar tf archive.tar
