1. Log in to the Linux system as root.
2. Use the “chown” command to change the ownership of a file or directory. For example, to change the ownership of “myfile.txt” to the user “jdoe”, type:
chown jdoe myfile.txt
3. Use the “chgrp” command to change the group ownership of a file or directory. For example, to change the group ownership of “myfile.txt” to the group “users”, type:
chgrp users myfile.txt
4. Use the “chmod” command to change the permissions of a file or directory. For example, to give the user “jdoe” read and write permissions, type:
chmod u+rw myfile.txt
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each file or directory you wish to change the ownership, group ownership, and/or permissions for.
