Mac change folder owner for permission to update file

When upgrading to High Sierra on the mac, somehow the owner needs to be updated due to an IT requirement.

After the ownership change, a lot of files are locked due to the current user does not own the file.

Updating the owner of the file and folder from Get Info page does not work as expected. So the best way to fix the issue is running chown from terminal as


sudo chown -Rv i826633 FolderPathToChangeTheOwner
