About Owner Privileges

The owner of a file is the user who uploaded the file into a project. By default, the owner has full control of the file. The owner can do everything to the file except change its security. You may want to remove owner privileges of a file if the owner no longer participates in the project and consequently should not have high-level access privileges to the file.
