[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi team,

I started facing issues when using sed changing a file in place with the
following command

sed -i cmd file

even though I have the necessary permissions to access the file with my
script, sed returns
the following error

sed: couldn't open temporary file ./sed7hc859: Permission denied

And it would then create a temporary file ./sed7hc859.
