Changing parent folder permissions

XAAMP:

Hello,

I need help to change the parent file /opt/lampp/htdocs/ permission (avability).

Actually, it works with " Root " but I’d like to change this by " myself "

and I can’t do it only by click on " Permissions: creat and remove files "

You can change the ownership settings by entering the Administrator view:

1. Activate the location field by Ctrl+L.
2. Enter admin: and press Enter.

I suggest you make a group for it, then add root to the group as well as your own user. If a service accesses this data then add that account too, then change the group ownership as you need. Be very careful and ideally take a full backup or snapshot of the server before starting out
