Hi

Two possibilities I can think of here

1) It's a password protected archive
2) It's permissions are set to root and so a lock symbol shows in the icon to 
denote this

if it's number 2, then he can press ALT F2 and type "gksudo nautilus" without 
the quotes and browse to the file at which point he now has permission to do 
what he wants with it, including changing permission and ownership of it by 
right clicking the file, choosing properties, then permissions, and going 
from there

However if it's a password protected file, it aint no good to him without the 
password
