Ownership of Files and Folders
== Ownership of Files and Folders ==
The owner of a file or folder is the user who has complete and full control over that file or folder in terms of being able to grant access to the resource, and also allow other users to take over the ownership of a file or folder.  This is often, but not always, the creator of the file or folder and is typically governed by the location of where the file or folder is being first created. Typically , the creator of the file or folder is, by default, initially designated as the owner. Ownership of a file or folder may be taken by either an administrator, any user with ''Take ownership'' permission on the object in question or any user with the right to ''Restore Files and Directories'' which by default includes members of the ''Backup Operators'' group.
