Change Directory Group Ownership Linux

To change the group ownership of a directory, you can use the chown command. Here is the method for changing the group ownership of a directory:

sudo chown :newgroup /path/to/directory

The above command changes the group ownership of the directory /path/to/directory to newgroup. Note: it changes the group to the specified one. If you want to simultaneously change both the owner and group of the directory, you can use the following command:

sudo chown newowner:newgroup /path/to/directory

The above command changes the owner of the directory /path/to/directory to newowner and also modifies its group to newgroup. Remember, changing the group ownership of a directory requires superuser privileges or a user with permission to modify the directory.
