chown

"Chown" is a command used in computer systems, especially Linux and Unix, to change the ownership of a file or directory. Ownership determines which user or group has control over the file, including permissions to read, write, or execute it. Using chown, an administrator can assign or transfer control of files to different users or groups to manage access and ensure proper security. It’s an essential tool for maintaining organized and secure file management within multi-user environments.
