## Submitted by Cory Christison Assigned to **Jannis Pohlmann** **[Link to original bug (#2681)](https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2681)** ## Description User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061212 Firefox/1.5.0.8 Build Identifier: You should be allowed to set the owner in the file permissions dialog. Currently you cannot do it via Thunar and have to resort to command line, eg: 'sudo chown -R username:group /some/path' The way that Konqueror's setup is ideal, but does not need to be completely replicated. Discussion on thunar-dev mailing list: http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/thunar-dev/2006-December/003602.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click on a file or folder 2. Select the "Permissions" tab Actual Results: No option to set an owner Expected Results: Should be able to set owner. Although it should only be allowed to via root user and using Thunar, perhaps there could be a prompt for root password if trying to set a user that is not yourself? Version: 0.5.0rc2
